Booker T On Randy Orton Possibly Leaving WWE For AEW

Randy Orton has been one of WWE’s top stars for the better part of two decades now, but The Viper got a lot of people talking recently when he praised AEW, and then seemingly teased interest in the company with a provocative photo.

Everyone’s been talking about Orton possibly jumping to AEW when his contract expires in 2020, and Booker T recently shared his thoughts on the subject on his Hall of Fame podcast.

“How cool [AEW] is, you know, Cody Rhodes and Young Bucks, Kenny Omega, and yeah he is an elite-level player. I always said, Randy Orton is an elite wrestler, he’s an elite superstar. He’s my guy, I always said that. One thing about Randy man, he’s always been a rebel. He’s always been a guy that walks to the beat of his own drum, you know what I mean? And if anybody was to do something crazy, it would be Randy… I’m gonna say it right now, man. If it happened, I would not be surprised.”

Booker emphasized that anything can happen, but also noted that WWE has taken good care of Randy Orton.

“But I don’t think something like that is going to happen. I think Randy Orton is safe, and I think he’s being taken care of very well in the WWE. I don’t think we’re going to lose Randy Orton any time soon. But anything’s possible. Like Randy ‘The Macho Man’ Savage said many years ago, ‘Always expect the unexpected.’”
