Randy Orton has a new lease on life.
Since returning to the ring at Survivor Series in November 2023, Randy Orton has frequently talked about how great he feels and how he is operating on a level that he hasn't reached in years. Orton's return came after he was out of action for eighteen months due to a back injury.
While speaking to The Independent for a new interview, Orton expanded on his current state, noting that fixing his back gave him new life and stability.
“I was able to do things in the gym that I hadn't done since I was in my 20s, and since I had my back fixed, I was able to strengthen it. That gave me new life. That gave me stability – almost like body armour, so to speak, that I had never had before.”
'The Viper' went on to say that he feels like he has a new lease on life and that he's still in his prime.
“Ever since I had my back fused, it’s like a new lease on life... I believe [Gunther vs. Orton] is the biggest match I’ve had since returning. You know, it’s crazy to say, but I feel like I’m still in my prime in the profession that I’m in. That really excites me."
Orton is set to challenge Gunther for the World Heavyweight Championship at WWE Bash In Berlin. Check out the updated card for the event here.
