Huge WWE Star Aims To Surpass Triple H At WrestleMania
WrestleMania is a place where history gets made, and WWE star Randy Orton intends to do the same at this year’s Show of Shows by surpassing Triple H.
Orton defeated Aleister Black and Solo Sikoa on the February 6 edition of Friday Night SmackDown in Charlotte, North Carolina, to earn his spot in the Elimination Chamber match on February 28.
If he wins the Elimination Chamber match, he will move on to challenge Drew McIntyre for the Undisputed WWE Championship in Las Vegas.
Randy Orton Wants To Become 15-Time World Champion In WWE
Ahead of his Elimination Chamber match, The Viper sat down with ESPN’s Get Up to talk about what a title opportunity at WrestleMania would mean to him.
Orton said that a title opportunity would be “huge” because it would push him one inch closer to his goal, which is to win another World Championship and become a 15-time World Champion.
Currently, Orton and Triple H are tied for the third-most World Championship reigns in WWE history, with 14 world titles each.
If Orton manages to win the Elimination Chamber match and then defeat Drew McIntyre at WrestleMania, he will become a 15-time World Champion: a milestone Orton says is a major goal for him in WWE:
“That’d be huge. I think right now you’ve got Triple H, and myself tied at 14. John Cena, of course, just retired with 17 world championships; you’ve got Ric Flair, I think, with 16. I’d love to get one more, at least one more.”
“It would mean the world to me, I’ve been around now (for) 26 years. I’ve been doing this for well more than half my life. Third-generation wrestler… This is my life, this is everything to me, so to be world champion again would mean the world, and it all starts this Saturday at Elimination Chamber.”
