After being off the ring for a long time due to a lower back strain, Randy Orton finally returned to the ring for Survivor Series. In an interview with the Logan Paul’s “Impaulsive” podcast, “The Viper” spoke about his plans for the future.
“I’m like the only guy that’s never left and come back — other than John Cena,” Orton declared. “But, like, I’m gonna be here for the rest of my life. This is me. I’m not moving on to Hollywood, I love what I do. I just had 18 months off recovering from a spinal fusion. So I was kind of faced with the fact that I might not be able to do this again. So it’s almost like I got a second lease on my career here,” Orton said, “and I’m not gonna take a day for granted and not a second in that ring for granted.”
Orton is a part the main WWE roster since. He has amassed an impressive number of achievements since his debut appearance in WWE, which included being a 14-time world champion. The year 2011 was the year that Orton had his first glimpse of Hollywood through the WWE Studios movie “That’s What I Am.” In the past Orton has also appeared on “12 Rounds 2: Reloaded,” “The Condemned 2,” “Countdown,” and, in 2019, most recently, “Changeland.”
Information about Orton’s serious back injury first surfaced in the month of May 2022, after his elimination from television following an attack from The Bloodline. Orton eventually had to undergo two back fusion procedure that left many thinking that “The Viper” would ever come back to the ring. A year later the news was made public that Orton will be returning to the squared circle in order to take part in the upcoming WarGames match-up.
