WWE stars have followed a transformative career trajectory. Some wrestlers have initiated a shift to Hollywood to carve out a career in movies and television. The most prominent examples of this are Dwayne Johnson and John Cena. Both the stars have been crowned champions at the promotion on multiple occasions and have etched out successful Hollywood careers.

While popularity plays an important role, another famous WWE star, Randy Orton, says he is not in for it. Why does he say so?

Randy Orton says no to Hollywood!

While talking to Logan Paul on, ‘IMPAULSIVE’, they discussed WWE and Hollywood. The 43-year-old star stated he joined the promotion back when he was 19 years old and was in and out multiple times due to various reasons. However, he believes that this is the only thing he will do for the rest of his life. Orton said, “This is me. I am not moving on to Hollywood. I love what I do. I just had 18 months off, recovering from a spinal fusion. So I was kinda fazed with the fact that I might not be able to do this again. So it’s almost like I got a second lease on my career.”

Randy Orton recently returned to WWE at the 2023 Survivor Series WarGames. There, he joined hands with Cody Rhodes & Co to take down The Judgment Day. Orton was last seen on WWE back in May 2022. Along with his stage team partner, Matt Riddle, he faced off against the Usos on an episode of SmackDown. Following that episode, he spent time out on the sidelines due to a back injury he incurred. But now that he is back wrestling, he has no intention of leaving.

But with his latest statements, did he try to shade John Cena and Dwayne Johnson? WWE fans are well aware of the rivalry between the leader of the ‘Cenation’ and the ‘Apex Predator’. They crossed paths in 2007 and continued to battle each other through I Quit matches, Hell in a Cell, Tables, Ladders, and Chairs matches. Their epic rivalry pushed them to the top of the company as the babyface and heel respectively.
