Randy Orton, a former 14-time world champion in WWE, has reportedly signed a new contract with the company according to Fightful Select. This new deal will keep the Viper, who has been with WWE for over 20 years, with the organization until 2029. While his previous contract was set to expire this year, complications arose due to injury time off, making the end date unclear.
In today’s wrestling landscape, contracts now come with guaranteed money, a shift from previous years. This change could explain WWE’s decision to offer Orton a new deal rather than extending his old one. The company likely sees it as a fairer option to negotiate a fresh agreement. Despite reaching out to WWE and Orton for confirmation, Fightful has not received direct responses.
Reports indicate that Randy Orton will be challenging GUNTHER for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship at Bash in Berlin later this month. This sets up an exciting match between two talented wrestlers with a storied history in the industry..getRequestDispatcher.
