Randy Orton Says He Wants Another 5-Year WWE Deal

Randy Orton isn’t thinking about retirement—he’s thinking about re-upping again.

The Viper, who signed a fresh five-year deal with WWE back in August 2024, made it crystal clear that when this contract’s up, he’s ready to keep going.

“I’d love to sign another five-year contract after that,” Orton told Complex in a new interview. “I know realistically there’s gonna be a day when I gotta stop. But it’s like, I don’t even think about that because I’m having so much f**ing fun right now.”*

For a guy who nearly had it all taken away after a brutal back injury sidelined him in 2022, Orton isn’t taking a second of this run for granted. He explained that every moment in the locker room and inside the ring hits harder these days—because he knows the end could sneak up at any time.

“Every second I’m around the guys in the locker room, that camaraderie, there’s nothing like it. Every second I’m in the ring feeling the energy from those fans, there’s nothing like it,” he said. “Knowing that there’s a cap on that, it just makes it easier to make sure that I’m just always enjoying this.”

Right now, Orton is heading into WrestleMania 41 weekend without a confirmed match. His original plans were scrapped after Kevin Owens revealed he needed neck surgery, leaving The Apex Predator without a dance partner. That said, with Orton still a top draw and fan favorite, don’t be surprised if WWE throws him a major curveball before showtime.
