Randy Orton just gave a major update on his WWE future — and his current contract isn’t ending anytime soon.

Speaking during a fan Q&A in Las Vegas ahead of WrestleMania 42, Orton revealed he still has four years remaining on his current WWE contract. That update comes after he previously confirmed a five-year extension back in 2024 — and now, with time still on the clock, Orton made it clear he’s focused on one thing: getting back to the top.

The Apex Predator also shut down any talk of stepping away for Hollywood, instead hinting at a long-term plan that keeps him tied to WWE — even beyond his current full-time run.

“I just turned 46. I do have four years left on my contract, and maybe when that’s over, I’ll get the Undertaker schedule and pop around for WrestleMania every year and then ride it to the wheels fall off, literally. But I got to get that championship, man. It’s been a while, and I want number 15. And I think at this point, I’m willing to do anything to get it.”

That mindset lines up with what Orton said when he first signed the deal. Back in August 2024, he confirmed he had signe a five-year contract extension with the company.

“I know you're alluding to Cody and his title and maybe I'd like to do it later, but I don't think I should rush it. I'm going to keep doing this for a long time. I just signed a five-year contract extension and I don't have to rush it . I've got all the time in the world as far as I'm concerned. I feel great. I feel healthy..”

Bottom line — Orton’s not thinking about winding down. With four years still left on his deal, he’s locked in on chasing history and adding more world titles to his resume before even considering a reduced schedule. At 46, he’s still talking like a man with unfinished business — and if he gets his way, that championship count isn’t staying at 14, even if he ended up losing to Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania 42.

Do you think Randy Orton will actually reach 15 or even break the all-time record before his contract runs out? Drop your thoughts below.
