Randy Orton may have walked away from WWE Crown Jewel battered and bloodied, but anybody wondering how much longer The Viper plans on doing this just got a pretty clear answer. Orton says he’s not finished yet, and whenever he does disappear, fans can count on seeing him again.
The update came after a fan reached out to Orton on Twitter and told him they were willing to wait until he was back. The Apex Predator then responded with a pretty definitive promise about his WWE future.
“Whether it’s sooner, or later, I’ll be back. Guaranteed. WWE is my home away from home. I still have more to do, and until I am unable, I will continue to keep doing it.”
Orton’s comments came after an absolutely brutal Last Man Standing Match against Rhodes in Riyadh. The two brought out steel steps, kendo sticks, trash cans, tables and a ladder before Rhodes eventually left Orton unable to answer the referee’s ten-count.
Rhodes even used one of Orton’s most infamous weapons against him. After multiple Cross Rhodes left The Viper bloodied, Cody stopped referee Charles Robinson’s count and nailed Orton with a Punt Kick to finish the job.
Even after all of that, Orton still spent some time with the Saudi fans before heading backstage. Footage showed the bloodied Viper being handed an Arabic shemagh, putting it on and continuing toward the back while interacting with the crowd.
Now Orton’s message makes one thing pretty damn clear: losing to Rhodes isn’t going to be the final image of his career. He didn’t say exactly when fans will see him next, but “I’ll be back. Guaranteed” doesn’t leave much room for doubt about whether The Viper intends to keep going.
