Randy Orton has addressed his upcoming match against GUNTHER at Saturday’s (May 25) WWE King & Queen of the Ring premium live event.
Ahead of this weekend’s show, Randy Orton defeated Tama Tonga on SmackDown to advance to the finals of the King of the Ring tournament.
He is now slated to battle GUNTHER, who won the other semi-final on Monday’s Raw episode.
Speaking with Kayla Braxton in a new video shared by WWE, Randy Orton noted that GUNTHER’s the perfect opponent for him to test his limits against.
Admitting that GUNTHER wasn’t at the top of his list of dream opponents because he previously felt like he had some warming up to do, Orton noted:
“I had kind of a list on the inside of my head of guys that I wanted to wrestle in that ring. GUNTHER, I wouldn’t say he was at the top of the list. I had some warming up to do before I got to him, you know what I mean? But I’m feeling better than ever, and I feel like now’s the time.
“When I first came back at War Games, Survivor Series, I was just coming back after 18 months out. I had to dip my toe in the water and slowly kind of just get used to being in the ring, and that takes some time for me. But now, Kayla, after six months, I’m ready for someone like GUNTHER.
“The thing is, I don’t know if anyone has his ability, because he is one of a kind. It’s gonna be hard hitting, and it might be the toughest match I’ve had since I’ve come back. willing to go as far as to say that. Easily, it’s going to be a war for me, but i think it’s a great way to test and see just how much my body can take. GUNTHER’s the guy for the job if i’m looking to test my limits.
“My hands are going to be full, and i know that, but again I welcome it, and i think it’s a great way for me to kind of prove that, you know, although i’m getting up there in age, like, I started, I’ve been around a long time, but i was 19 when i signed my wwe contract you might think i’m old, but i’m not as old as you think. You know what i’m saying? I’m going to prove that i can hang with the young guys.”
Orton will break a three-year streak at King & Queen of the Ring, which you can read more about right here.
