During the Elimination Chamber Press Event, Orton made his intentions clear, affirming his commitment to wrestling and his goal to unseat Seth Rollins as the reigning World Heavyweight Champion at WrestleMania XL.
Expressing his preference for performing live in front of appreciative fans rather than pursuing Hollywood endeavors, Orton exuded confidence in his ability to emerge victorious in the Elimination Chamber Match and secure his 15th World Heavyweight Championship.
“I’m not gonna stand on set for 12 hours a day, six days a week, and do all that BS. I’m gonna be right here doing stuff like this in front of people like you that appreciate what I do when I do it,” Orton stated emphatically. “Tomorrow I’m winning the Chamber match. And I’m gonna go on to WrestleMania and I’m gonna become a 15-time World Heavyweight Champion when I beat Seth ‘Freakin’ Rollins and I’m gonna walk out of there with the title around my waist.”
As speculation mounts about Orton’s potential clash with John Cena at WrestleMania XL, fans eagerly await the unfolding chapters in The Apex Predator’s storied career.
