Randy Orton discusses his uncertain WrestleMania 41 status following Kevin Owens' injury, expressing desire to at least deliver his signature move.
Veteran WWE roster member Randy Orton finds himself without a confirmed role at WrestleMania 41 following an unexpected change in plans. The upcoming Premium Live Event scheduled for April 19-20 in Las Vegas currently features no match for Orton after circumstances altered the original booking.
Kevin Owens’ injury disrupted the initial plans for Orton’s WrestleMania appearance, leaving the multi-time champion without a clear direction for the showcase event. In a recently published interview with Complex, Orton shared his thoughts on the situation with journalist Raj Prashad.
Orton remains optimistic about participating in some capacity at WrestleMania despite the setback.
I’m staying optimistic and I believe that – not to sound arrogant or anything – but I think that… it’s even hard for me to say this, but the weight that the name Randy Orton has in the world of Pro Wrestling, in our bubble or whatever you want to call it.
The veteran specifically mentioned his desire to perform his finishing move during wrestling’s biggest showcase.
I think it would be a shame if I wasn’t put in a position where I could at least pull off an RKO at WrestleMania.
Orton expressed confidence that WWE’s creative team would develop a meaningful opportunity for him before the event arrives.
My hope is that we can find something that makes sense and engages the audience.
