Orton is one of the most decorated WWE superstars in the company’s history having been crowned World Champion 14 times as well as winning the Intercontinental Championship and the United States Title once each.

He is also one of only a handful to have lasted this long within the company, with The Undertaker wrestling the longest for WWE boss Vince McMahon.

The Apex Predator recently noted that he wanted to continue wrestling into his 50s.

Speaking to WWE legend Stone Cold Steve Austin on The Broken Skull Sessions podcast, the ‘Legend Killer’ revealed: “At 40, I want to wrestle another decade if I can. So I know, it’s [working out] not about getting my pecs out here like Bobby Lashley and Batista’s. It’s about making sure my shoulder stays in its socket. I just need to maintain. It’s all about longevity for me man, I wanna be able to do this as long as I can.”
