Randy Orton, a WWE veteran of over two decades, is undoubtedly headed for the WWE Hall of Fame. Recently, The Viper shared his thoughts on who should have the honor of inducting him into the prestigious hall, and his response was unexpected. Despite his long-standing rivalry with John Cena, Orton surprisingly doesn’t want the 16-time world champion to do the honors.
In a recent interview on Adam’s Apple podcast, Orton confessed that he’s unsure of who should induct him, but he’s adamant that it shouldn’t be Cena. His reasoning? Cena would set the bar too high with his speech, implying that The Cenation Leader’s oratory skills are unmatched. This revelation comes as a surprise, given the intense and storied history between the two WWE legends.
At 44, Orton has been in the business for over two decades, and his latest return from a career-threatening back injury has him feeling better than ever. Despite achieving unparalleled success in the WWE, Orton has no plans to hang up his boots anytime soon. In fact, he wants to end his illustrious career on his own terms, without transitioning into a part-time role like some of his peers.
Orton’s commitment to staying active and competitive in the ring is admirable, particularly given the grueling nature of the wrestling business. His current feud with Solo Sikoa-led Bloodline, alongside Kevin Owens, is a testament to his dedication to the craft. The two babyfaces recently suffered a loss in a Street Fight at Backlash France, thanks to the surprise debut of Tanga Loa. Orton’s next challenge comes in the form of a 2024 King of the Ring tournament qualifying match against AJ Styles on SmackDown this Friday.
As Orton continues to thrive in the WWE, his eventual Hall of Fame induction is all but certain. While the question of who will induct him remains unanswered, one thing is clear: Randy Orton’s impact on the world of professional wrestling will be remembered for generations to come.
