As previously reported, WWE Superstar Randy Orton will be setting a new record tomorrow at Survivor Series with the most WWF/WWE PPV pay-per-view appearances in history. Orton is set to break Kane’s record, as the two are currently tied at 176 events apiece. In light of the milestone, Randy Orton posted the following comments on his stats on Twitter:

“I’ve never been one to keep records or stats throughout my career. Early on, it was laughable to consider in my profession you had ‘wins’ and ‘losses’. You certainly wouldn’t talk about it, with the boys much less fans. But I’m fortunate to have some fans (and friends) hat have done just that, kept my stats. Not just wins and losses, but damn near everything you could think of! It came to my attention that tomorrow at Survivor Series I’ll set a new record for most PPV matches by anyone in WWE history. The following night on RAW coincidentally, if I have a match, I’ll have had more matches on RAW then anyone in history. I saw this online, checked it, and it is true… kind of hard to believe, as it feels like I only started down in OVW yesterday. I just wanna take a minute in light of these ‘stats’, and let everyone out there that’s ever supported me in any way know that I am thankful. I also know with all of my heart that I couldn’t have done it without you. Now on to my 15th Survivor Series…man time flies don’t it? #WWE #SurvivorSeries #RAW”

At WWE Survivor Series 2021, Orton and RK-Bro tag team partner Riddle will face SmackDown tag team champions The Usos in a non-title Champions vs. Champions match. The event is being held tomorrow at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York. It will be broadcast live on Peacock in the US and the WWE Network everywhere else.
