Randy Orton On If He Was Really Considering Leaving WWE

Randy Orton has been a hot topic in the world of professional wrestling over the last few months, as The Viper teased his interest in AEW.

However, the former WWE Champion recently signed a new multi-year deal with WWE, and he told Corey Graves on the After The Bell podcast that he’s very happy about it.

“I did sign a [five-year] deal and I’m very happy about it. I was just having fun and I’ve been more so now than ever aware of other guys like Will Ospreay, and other guys that work with Cody Rhodes, and I’m watching a little more wrestling. I’m not in the WWE bubble as much as I’ve been for almost the past two decades, and I’m learning to appreciate other styles a little more instead of quickly seeing something that isn’t how I would do it, or isn’t how I would sell it, and I’m realizing that in it’s own way, it’s good.”

Randy Orton went on to say that even though he teased interest in AEW, he never really saw himself parting ways with WWE.

“This might be upsetting for some people but I never really saw myself leaving WWE. To me, it was about getting to a point where I’m happy and with what I’m doing to my body, the amount of time that I’m gone from my family – in the end, it’s all going to be worth it. And that’s where I’m at right now, so I’m definitely happy being a WWE Superstar.”
