WWE star Randy Orton has revealed his huge WrestleMania goal, ahead of his match at this week’s premium live event.
The Viper is set to compete in his 19th WrestleMania match this weekend.
Speaking with Joe Tessitore for ESPN, Orton pointed out that he has almost wrestled at two decades-worth of WrestleMania events.
Noting that he wants to beat Undertaker’s record of 27 WrestleMania matches, Orton said:
“I have been around for a long time. This will be my 19th WrestleMania. There are two guys who have performed at more WrestleManias than me.
“The Undertaker at 27 WrestleManias and Triple H at 23. Then you have Randy Orton at 19. I’m in a nice little group of people there, those are some cool names. I want to be around.
“To me, if I can beat Undertaker’s record of 27 WrestleManias and still be healthy and feeling good, to me, that’s my goal.”
The Undertaker announced his retirement following his 27th WrestleMania match, with the Deadman defeating AJ Styles in a Boneyard match at WrestleMania 36 in 2020.
At WrestleMania 40, Orton will challenge for Logan Paul’s US Championship, alongside Kevin Owens in a three-way bout.
A potential spoiler has emerged on Logan Paul’s presentation for this match, which you can read more about right here.
