Randy Orton Promises He Will Be Back: ‘WWE Is My Home Away From Home’

It was a bad weekend for Randy Orton. Not only did he lose his rubber match against his bitter rival, Cody Rhodes, but he got punted in the head. That allowed Cody Rhodes to keep Orton down for a ten-count to win their Last Man Standing Match.

Nevertheless, Randy Orton says he’s not done. He responded to a letter from a fan on social media. He also claimed that he still has “more to do” and will continue wrestling until he’s unable to do it.

He wrote on his X account, “Whether it’s sooner or later, I’ll be back. Guaranteed. WWE is my home away from home. I still have more to do, and until I am unable, I will continue to keep doing it.”

Orton and Rhodes are now 2-1 in their feud. Cody won their title match at WrestleMania 42: Night 1. Orton won their later rematch at WWE Sunday Night’s Main Event in September. Rhodes won what appeared to be the climax in their trilogy bout.

After the match, Rhodes said about Orton, “The demon has been exorcised.” However, he also added, “Randy, at one point, was my hero and my mentor. That never goes away. His entire thing has hijacked my joy for what we do. It really has. The melancholy in the deepness of all of that is not for me. Not for me.”

Whether it’s sooner, or later, I’ll be back. Guaranteed. WWE is my home away from home. I still have more to do, and until I am unable, I will continue to keep doing it. https://t.co/XheHyj1quT
