Randy Orton on His Eventual Retirement

According to Sportskeeda, Orton got candid withh McAfee about his 26-year-long career and how long he thinks he has left in the ring.

“I’m 46 in a couple of months, and you know, I can’t do this forever,” the 14-time World Champion said. “I’ve been doing it for 26 years. If I could do it another decade, I will.”

“The work rate, the way that I wrestle, you know, maybe I could pull that out,” he added. “But I know that time’s coming.”

Orton also touched on the one thing he wants to be able to do before he retires, whenever that may be.

According to The Viper, he said he wants to become a world champion one more time.

“That’d be huge. I think right now you’ve got Triple H and myself tied at 14. John Cena, of course, just retired with 17 World Championships,” he said. “You got Ric Flair, I think it’s 16. I’d love to get one more, at least one more.”

“It would mean the world to me,” he admitted.

Orton Challenges Tom Brady to Take an RKO

Orton likewise addressed the comments made by Tom Brady, who called professional wrestling “cute.”

“10, 15, 20 years ago, I would have been hot. I would have had choice words to say for Tom Brady,” Orton admitted. “But every second I’m in that ring, I am soaking it up.”

According to SEScoops, Orton then went on to challenge Brady, saying, “Tom, if you want to take an RKO, dude — call Pat. Pat will call me.”
