Randy Orton, the 14-time WWE World Champion, who has been with the company for 20 years, has won several titles and feuded with WWE legends like Ric Flair, Triple H, and The Rock. However, his rivalry with the 16-time WWE Champion, John Cena, still stands out as one of the best in WWE history.
In a recent interview, Orton discussed the prospect of his retirement match and expressed a desire to face John Cena once more, specifically at the grandest stage of them all.
Randy Orton wants to face John Cena in one last match
The rivalry between Randy Orton and John Cena spanned over a decade and was one of the most intense and personal in WWE history. Both superstars faced each other in countless matches, from singles to tag team to multi-man, across various titles and stipulations. One match that has never happened at WrestleMania is the highly anticipated dream match between Randy Orton and John Cena.
The two superstars have faced each other in every premium live event, but never shared the ring together in a one-on-one contest at WrestleMania. During his recent interview with Justin Barrasso, Orton opened up about his interest in facing John Cena in one last match. He expressed his commitment to WWE for the next decade and expressed a desire to face his long time rival, John Cena in one more match at a WrestleMania stage.
Previously, during an interview in WWE’s The Bump, Orton revealed that his dream match is to go against John Cena for a WWE title and win the title at WrestleMania. If Orton and Cena face each other at future WrestleManias, it would be a match for the ages, a clash of two icons, a culmination of a storied rivalry.
Randy Orton explains his ‘number-one priority’ at WWE
Since his comeback to WWE during Survivor Series 2023, Randy Orton has been actively extending his influence beyond the confines of the organization. He has made numerous appearances in interviews and even featured on Logan Paul’s Impaulsive talk show.
During interview with Justin Barrasso, Orton revealed his number one priority in WWE. He said,” “I’d love to win on Saturday and then win that championship another time,” said Orton. “I’d love to wrestle John Cena at WrestleMania. But those aren’t my biggest goals. My goal is to never take one second of this for granted. That’s my number-one priority.”
Orton said that his number one priority in WWE is to never take one second of this for granted, and to savor every moment of his wrestling career. He acknowledged that he owes a lot to Vince McMahon, but also expressed his heartbreak over the recent allegations against the WWE chairman.
The next live appearance of Randy Orton will be in the six man Elimination Chamber match, where he will be locked in the steel cage with five other WWE Superstars and the winner will get a shot at Seth Rollins’ WWE World Heavy Weight Championship.
