Randy Orton’s return to WWE has left fans wondering how long he will stay in the company. According to Fightful Select, Orton’s recent comeback at Survivor Series may indicate a longer stay than initially anticipated.
In 2019, Orton teased free agency but ultimately signed a new five-year contract with WWE, aligning with the company’s trend of signing talents to long-term deals. With his original contract set to expire in the Fall of 2024, there is speculation that WWE may extend it.
A source within WWE expressed surprise if the company did not extend Orton’s contract. Given his absence from WWE for approximately 18 months, there is a possibility that WWE may add “injury time” to his contract, effectively keeping him with the company until 2026. However, it is important to note that this outcome is not guaranteed.
In the past, there have been instances where injured talents did not have time added to their contracts due to their involvement in other roles or company-related projects. However, the situation with Orton is believed to be different, and it ultimately depends on WWE’s decision.
