Randy stated that he would like to build a compelling storyline with adequate TV time, considering their history and nostalgic factor involved.

“I would love to work with the man, with a little bit of TV or more to set it up to make something special of it, because no matter how much we faced each other back in the day, almost to the point of getting sick of it, people look back and think of it ‘oh Orton Cena wow this rivalry is amazing’, to have that call back, the nostalgia factor, they would appreciate it.”

Moreover, Orton also mentioned that his program with Cena would have to happen organically and believed that it will happen in 2025.

The retirement tour is not just a farewell but a celebration of John Cena’s legacy, ensuring that his contributions to WWE are honored and remembered.
