After weeks of speculation regarding the possibility that he’d make the jump to All Elite Wrestling after almost two decades with WWE, Randy Orton signed a new multi-year contract with the latter promotion, solidifying his future with the company where he became a household name as a 13-time world champion.
As reported by WrestlingNews.co, the above developments were first reported by PWInsider and later corroborated by a WWE source who spoke to the former publication. At the time Orton signed the new WWE deal, various reports were hinting that the veteran wrestler was considering a move to AEW, especially since he shared an Instagram post a few weeks ago where he posed in an elevator with a sign with the words “Elite Level” — a possible reference to the second word in the rival promotion’s full name.
