Randy Orton on when he plans to retire from WWE

Randy Orton has revealed when he plans to retire from being an active member on the WWE roster.

The 41-year-old will celebrate twenty years as a WWE Superstar in 2022, after making his TV debut in April 2002. In that time, he has established himself as one of the biggest Superstar’s in the company and won fourteen world titles.

Speaking to the Ringer Wrestling Podcast, Orton has now revealed when he plans on retiring from WWE. Which if The Viper sticks to his word, means we still have a lot more RKO’s to enjoy before it’s all over.

“I’m 41. By the time I’m 50, I think I’m done. But I’m not like, I’ll do auditions every once in a while, but I almost only do them because my wife says ‘oh do them, because what if you don’t?

Then you’ll wonder what if you did.’ So I do auditions here and there, crossing my fingers that I don’t get a call back because I love what I do. I don’t want to stop. I don’t want to have to stop, because of my body.

So I’ve taken it upon myself to make sure I’m doing everything I can on the daily that physically I’m able to continue. But if it was up to me, and I knew physically it wouldn’t be a problem, I’d say I’d wrestle until I’m 50 years old.

And I would go out and have that last match when I’m 50 and be able to say I did it on my own terms. That’s 9 years from now. But I don’t see an end to my career any time soon. I’d like to continue to go.”

Although his schedule has slightly reduced in recent years, Orton remains an integral part of WWE programming, and his tandem with Riddle has been one of the most entertaining parts of Monday Night Raw over the past six months. Yet, he added that he does have a certain amount of contracted dates, one of the few full-time talents to have this obligation.
