Randy Orton LEAVING WWE?
'The Viper' continues to allow rumours of his impending departure to swirl...
Randy Orton has again teased a potential departure from WWE following a not-that-cryptic Twitter conversation with The Revival. The exchange was only slightly less dull than one of 'The Viper's heat spots, but ended with all the spice and speculation of an RKO "outta nowhere".
Lamenting the end of their enjoyable FTRKO trio, Scott Dawson thanked Orton for their run following his move to Monday Night Raw in the recent draft. Dash Wilder quote-tweeted it, then Orton stirred the pot by quote-tweeting that simply with "2020" attached.
So why all the frenzy?
According to report from Figthful just days earlier, Orton's contract will expire next Summer, leading many to question if WWE will remain the permanent home of the company lifer.
One of the least likely to consider a move to All Elite Wrestling on the surface, Orton created buzz out of thin air after posting a picture of himself next to an "Elite" nameplate months removed from discussing his openness to working with the brand new competition.
Wrestlers have cannily manipulated Twitter since the worker's marketplace became a little more fertile in the last few months. It's little wonder a performer with the comfort of the 'Apex Predator' has gotten in on the act.
