Professional wrestler Randy Orton, at the age of 44, is contemplating his future retirement in the WWE. In a recent interview with Cody Rhodes on the “So, What Do You Want To Talk About?” digital series, Orton shared his thoughts on when he might hang up his wrestling boots.
Orton revealed that his wife, Kim, plays a significant role in helping him decide when it will be time to retire. He expressed a desire to continue wrestling for as long as he can but emphasized the importance of knowing when to step away gracefully. Orton cited John Cena as an example of someone who retired with intention and sincerity, pledging not to have multiple “last matches” like some wrestlers do.
By discussing retirement openly and honestly, Orton aims to have a definitive endpoint to his wrestling career, much like Cena did. He wants to retire once, have closure, and leave the WWE on a high note without the need for multiple comebacks or farewells.
