Speaking with Cody Rhodes on So, What Do You Want To Talk About? Orton was asked what the future looks like for him and when he may call it a career.

"To answer your question honestly, I think do this for as long as I can and make sure, we brought up my wife Kim on a couple of occasions, she told me, 'When it's time to hang them up, I'll let you know.' If this is when I need to hang them up, I don't want to go here. I don't want to retire and have a last match and then leave the company and have another last match and another one and another one. Like John (Cena). When he says, 'This is my last Royal Rumble. This is my last Elimination Chamber. This is my last WrestleMania.' He means it. If anyone has ever meant that, it's him. I want to follow suit. I want, when it's all said and done and it's over, I want it to be over. I want to take it to that point and then tear it down and ride off into the sunset," he said.

Orton said that he hopes he to wrestle until he's 50.

Orton will challenge Gunther for the WWE World Heavyweight Title at WWE Bash In Berlin. Fans can check out the current lineup for the show by clicking here.
