Randy Orton Comments On Working A Full-Time WWE Schedule & Reveals How Much Longer He Wants To Wrestle For

Randy Orton returned to WWE at last November’s Survivor Series premium live event after more than 550 days away due to injury. Yet, while CM Punk’s surprise return greatly overshadowed his comeback, he still delighted fans by looking better than ever. And now, during a recent interview with Adam’s Apple , he has revealed he can see himself wrestling until he is 50, which is six years away, noting he wants to remain a full-time guy.

“I feel so great after my surgery. I’m a full-time guy. I don’t want to do the old Undertaker or Shawn Michaels schedule, which they needed to do, understandably. Wrestle at WrestleMania, take the summer off, maybe you see them at SummerSlam. I want to be on the road every week. I want to make all the TVs. I want to be on all the PLEs. At 44, I would love to be able to go until my 50s. Maybe I wrestle until I’m 50 and call it. That’s 30 years, 30 years with the same company on top.”

After spending two decades at the pinnacle of the business, 44-year-old Orton is considered a pro wrestling legend by many. Notably, he has held a version of the world championship 14 times during this time, making him the third most recognized world champion in WWE history. Therefore, his triumphant return to WWE was a massive positive for the company, and it will now be intriguing to see if he can break John Cena and Ric Flair’s record of 16 world championships, given he has time on his side.
