Randy Orton wants his biggest rival to induct him into WWE immortality.
Since the two got into the business, it has been John Cena and Randy Orton who have been rivals no matter if it was for championship belts or pure revenge on the other. Now, the two have not shared the ring in years and hold a huge amount of respect for the others’ hard work in the business.
On Cody Rhodes’ What Do You Wanna Talk About?, Orton was asked who he would like to have induct him into the WWE Hall of Fame and there was only one name to come to mind for the Legend Killer.
“If I’m lucky enough to be in the Hall of Fame, I would want it to be when things are settled and over. That’s how it has to come about. As far as, gosh, I don’t even want to say because I feel like he will hear this and then feel obligated, but maybe John (Cena). There are a few reasons. Selfishly, I know he would knock it out of the park. He’s done a few inductions. William ‘Refridgerator’ Perry. I don’t really follow sports. I wasn’t aware of who that man was. Cena inducted him, and sitting there watching John for what he does, I was completely captivated. I know John can do me better justice than just about anybody because John is John. Of course, there are other candidates, but I feel John would be at the top of my list. I almost hate saying it out loud because I can’t imagine how busy that dude is with everything he’s got going on. I have a tendancy to sell myself short. Maybe he would love to do it. I don’t know that I could ask him. I almost don’t want to think about it until that time comes, if it comes.”
Orton is set to battle Gunther for the World Heavyweight Championship where he will look to place himself at #2 of all-time world championship reigns in the WWE.
