Randy Orton Comments On Teasing Move To AEW

It’s insane to think of Randy Orton wrestling anywhere other than WWE, but when his contract came up in 2019, that’s exactly what he teased.

Orton teased jumping ship to All Elite Wrestling, which he later admitted he did just to leverage a better deal out of Vince McMahon. Orton recently appeared on the Pat McAfee show, where he spoke about the teases.

He said:

“I think he also sees that I’m a WWE guy, I started out a WWE guy, and I’m not going anywhere. Even a couple of years ago, there might have been some chatter and some talk, but, I wasn’t really the guy talking about really going anywhere else. That was just… the internet and everybody… and I just kinda sat back and was like, ‘Oh this is interesting, I never said that’. Here I am, my contract’s up in a couple of years, and I’ll sign another one. I love this place. I love getting to do s**t like this. WrestleMania, this is my 18th WrestleMania in a couple of days. Here’s to 10 more WrestleManias.”
