Randy Orton has opened up with an update on his role in WWE as a mentor to the younger talent on the roster.
As a 25-year veteran, Orton has taken on a locker room leader role in recent years with the next generation of talent coming through and learning from people like him.
On the WWE Elimination Chamber post-show today, he spoke about this role, saying:
“I never saw myself being in the role that I’m in now, and I’ll be honest, it’s quite fulfilling. It’s fulfilling.
“Like Je’Von Evans, bless his heart, he looked great out there tonight… seeing him, seeing Trick, seeing the other young guys.
“There’s a few guys down in NXT, Myles Borne’s one of them. There’s a lot of guys that I’m excited to talk to and I can tell that they’re excited to listen.
“I feel like there’s a certain lane that I’ve stayed in where I make little things mean something.
“Just last night, I was able to talk with a couple of young guys, and I could tell that they were really excited to hear what I had to say, and their eyes kinda got wide open, and they realized, ‘This Randy, he knows his s**t.’ And I do.
“I have a lot to give back. It’s fulfilling to me, it fills my lungs up with fresh air, it makes my heart beat faster. I love this business, and if I can do it 10 more years, I will, God willing.”
