“I love what I’m doing. I love what I’m doing in the ring. I would love to do it for a much longer time. 10 more years, 12 more years. I’d like to be like ‘Taker and when I get to the point where my body’s like okay maybe not every week, like I’d love to [do] SummerSlam, WrestleMania, like come and have that big match,” Orton said.

Randy Orton discusses leaving WWE
The third-generation superstar has solidified his role in the company's history. Unlike some of the company's most notable names, Orton has remained with the promotion for the entirety of his in-ring career.
As rumors started swirling around that he would leave WWE and sign with AEW, Orton quickly clarified that he wanted to stay with his current promotion for a long time. He also stated that he would re-sign a new contract within a few years.
"My contract's up in a couple of years and I'll sign another one. I love this place, I love doing sh*t like this."
