WWE Superstar Randy Orton has made a remarkable comeback to the ring after a two-year hiatus, and he’s not slowing down anytime soon. In a recent exclusive interview with Adam’s Apple YouTube channel, Orton shared details about his conversations with WWE’s Chief Content Officer, Triple H, regarding taking time off from the grueling WWE schedule.
The Viper, known for his intense in-ring performances, took a break from WWE to undergo spinal fusion surgery. Many fans thought his time in the ring was numbered, but Orton proved them wrong with his impressive return at Survivor Series last year. Since then, he has been a dominant force on SmackDown, showcasing his remarkable physical shape and impressive in-ring prowess.
According to Orton, things have changed within WWE, and taking time off is no longer a taboo topic. He recalled having open and honest conversations with Triple H, where he expressed his need for time off, and the WWE executive was more than willing to accommodate his requests.
Orton, now in his mid-40s, expressed his love for working full-time in WWE, enjoying the grind of weekly TV tapings, and being part of premium live events. Despite being in his 40s, Orton plans to continue wrestling well into his 50s, a testament to his dedication and passion for the sport.
The Apex Predator’s revelation is a welcome change, especially considering the grueling schedule WWE Superstars are expected to maintain. It’s a sign that WWE is evolving and prioritizing the well-being of its talent, recognizing the importance of mental and physical health.
As Orton continues to dominate on SmackDown, fans are eager to see what lies ahead for The Viper in the coming months. One thing is certain – Randy Orton is back, and he’s here to stay.
