Randy Orton Wants To Retire With More Gold Than Anyone Else

Randy Orton is set to headline Night 1 of WrestleMania 42 on Saturday night. On that event, he will challenge Cody Rhodes for the WWE Undisputed Championship.

Randy Orton is already a 14 time world champion. But now, he’s closing in on becoming a 15 time world champion and inching closer to beating John Cena’s 17 world championship reigns. When asked by Wade Barrett what he’s driven by, it was of course, legacy.

”Oh, I’m driven by legacy, Wade. But, I think that everything in life, especially everything here, has at least a little bit of personal to it. I mean, everything’s person for me. When you come down to it, you look at the history of Cody and I, and it’s every bit personal. Our history, I don’t know if I have a history with any other WWE Superstar more than I have with Cody Rhodes. But, in this particular moment, what’s driving me is legacy because I realize, Wade, that nothing lasts forever. I want to rack up as many points as I can on the board before the time comes that I hang up the boots. Next thing on the list for me to accomplish is that 15th world championship. Then, I beat Triple H. And then I’ve got Ric Flair and John Cena in my sights. My goal is to leave this company one day, with more world championship gold around my waist than any other competitor that has ever stepped foot into a WWE ring.”

Randy Orton gets one step closer to that if he can defeat Cody Rhodes this Saturday night. If he can do that, he’s on the path to having the greatest legacy in WWE history.
