Legend wants Randy Orton to face current champion in his retirement match in WWE (Exclusive)

Bill Apter recently expressed his desire to see a match between WWE Intercontinental Champion Gunther and Randy Orton.

Fans went into a frenzy when The Viper's father, Bob Orton Jr., revealed in a chat with Sportskeeda Wrestling that his son was advised against wrestling again. While nothing is set in stone until Orton himself makes an announcement about his WWE future, the chances of him returning full-time seem bleak.

On Sportskeeda Wrestling's The Wrestling Time Machine, host Mac Davis asked Bill Apter and Teddy Long to pick their dream final opponents for Randy Orton. The senior journalist mentioned Intercontinental Champion Gunther's name. Apter thinks The Legend Killer is as "tough" a competitor as The Ring General is.

"Gunther. Tough, but Randy, if he's okay, Randy is as tough as Gunther," said Bill Apter. (7:06 - 7:15)
