Speaking of veteran talent weighing up their options, that's exactly what Randy Orton has been doing lately. His situation is different to that of The Undertaker. Not only is Orton around 15 years younger than his peer, but he also hasn't been around quite as long as 'The Phenom' has.

Nonetheless, Orton was forced to re-evaluate things upon suffering a shoulder injury setback in October 2015. Since then, he hasn't been seen on WWE television, as he heals up for a proposed return sometime over the next couple of months. 

Speaking with Afterbuzz TV about his health, Randy delivered an interesting piece of insight into his own career.

At most, Orton believes he has a decade of good ring time left in him. If his problems continue to worsen, that may be cut down to 5 years of solid wrestling. In 10 years, Randy would be 46 years of age, and it's unlikely he'd want to work a full-time schedule in WWE beyond that.
