Randy Orton Issues Statement On Record Breaking PPV Appearance At Survivor Series

Randy Orton has been in the professional wrestling business for a long time, and on Sunday he and Riddle will face off against SmackDown Tag Team Champions The Usos in a non-title match at Survivor Series.

Survivor Series will mark Randy Orton’s 177th PPV appearance, and he will also break a record as he becomes the Superstar with the most appearances on a WWE PPV. Orton is currently tied with Kane at 176 pay-per-view appearances.

Randy Orton reflected on his career, and he also thanked fans when he discussed the record he’s about to break when he posted the following on Twitter:

“I’ve never been one to keep records or stats throughout my career. Early on, it was laughable to consider in my profession you had ‘wins’ and ‘losses’. You certainly wouldn’t talk about it, with the boys much less fans. But I’m fortunate to have some fans (and friends) hat have done just that, kept my stats. Not just wins and losses, but damn near everything you could think of!

“It came to my attention that tomorrow at Survivor Series I’ll set a new record for most PPV matches by anyone in WWE history. The following night on RAW coincidentally, if I have a match, I’ll have had more matches on RAW than anyone in history. I saw this online, checked it, and it is true… kind of hard to believe, as it feels like I only started down in OVW yesterday.

“I just wanna take a minute in light of these ‘stats’, and let everyone out there that’s ever supported me in any way know that I am thankful. I also know with all of my heart that I couldn’t have done it without you. Now on to my 15th Survivor Series…man time flies don’t it? #WWE #SurvivorSeries #RAW”

Survivor Series will air live on Sunday, November 21. Stay tuned for updates.
