SUMMARY
- Randy Orton recently gave an interview to street journalist Adam Glyn, as they discussed a variety of topics.
- During the conversation, The Viper named three young WWE stars he would love to work with in the near future.
Randy Orton has been with the WWE since the early 2000’s, but he’s still at the top of his in-ring work, and his longevity in the business is commendable. Despite being 44, The Viper performs full-time and takes part in the packed work schedule of the company, which is something not many of his age might be doing after having such an iconic career.
The Apex Predator is obviously a very busy man because of his association with the Stamford-based promotion, but he was recently caught by Adam Glyn for a quick conversation at an airport. During the interview, the 14-time Champion discussed a number of topics, including the current state of the organization.
But, alongside that, Randy also talked about the next generation of workers in the Triple H-led promotion and had a lot of praise for some particular performers. In fact, Randy Orton also named three young WWE stars that he would love to work with in the near future for the biggest wrestling promotion in the world.
Sharing their names, The Legend Killer said, “I am a fan of Bron Breakker. I’ve been a fan of Austin Theory. I think Waller is great. There’s a lot of guys in NXT that I’m not certainly aware of.” Looking at the names, it’s easy to understand why Orton wants to have a program with these guys in WWE. As they’re all extremely talented, it remains to be seen if we see any of them having a feud with the icon or not.
Randy Orton believes Austin Theory is the next big thing in WWE
The Viper revealed during his conversation with street journalist Adam Glyn that he has high expectations from the former United States Champion in history. In fact, Randy Orton believes Austin Theory is the next big thing in WWE, and his comments during the recent interview showcase it.
The legend shared how his eyes are on Austin, not only from a talent standpoint but also because of his look and the way he has improved on the mic. Randy believes that the more opportunities he gets, the more beneficial it will be for him to thrive as an overall performer.
During a recent interview with Adam’s Apple, Randy Orton praised Austin Theory:

He also said, “I’ve talked to the guy, he’s on a level…When I was his age, he’s nothing like that, he’s way more mature.” These comments shows the kind of belief The Apex Predator has in Theory, but it remains to be seen if this young superstar can fulfil the expectations during his ongoing WWE run or not.
Randy Orton hails Triple H for the positive changes in WWE
In addition to the comments about the future stars of the Stamford-based promotion, The Legend Killer talked about several other topics. While giving an update about his retirement from in-ring action plans, Randy Orton also hailed Triple H for the positive changes in WWE.
The Viper shared how he had to go through a lot of struggle during his 30’s in the company, as he was suffering back issues but still had to work. However, Randy shared that things have changed a lot under The Game‘s leadership, and more importance is being given to the health of the performers in the company.
Orton also pointed out how Hunter has given him week-offs whenever he needed them, and he has taken two such offs since his return to Survivor Series 2023. All these remarks by the 14-time World Champion showcase how things have been going pretty well for him in the Paul Levesque Era, and it remains to be seen what’s next for WWE’s Apex Predator.
