A future WWE Hall of Famer, ten-time WWE Champion Randy Orton has confirmed that he will remain with the promotion for a further five years until 2029.

A third-generation wrestler and the son of 'Cowboy' Bob Orton, Randy is regarded as one of the best wrestlers of all time and has nearly won every title in the WWE.

His career includes being a ten-time WWE Champion, four-time World Heavyweight Champion, Intercontinental Champion, United States Champion, two Royal Rumble victories in 2009 and 2017 and multiple tag team titles.

"I know you're alluding to Cody and his title and maybe I'd like to do it later, but I don't think I should rush it," Orton said in an interview with Marca.com.

"I'm going to keep doing this for a long time. I just signed a five-year contract extension and I don't have to rush it.

"I've got all the time in the world as far as I'm concerned. I feel great. I feel healthy."

The confirmation of the new contract comes after his previous deal was set to expire at the end of this year, and he made his successful return to the ring after recovering for 18 months from a back injury.
