"I miss you" - Randy Orton sends heartfelt message to former WWE Champion
Randy Orton sent a heartfelt message to his arch-rival John Cena while reacting to the greatest moments of his 20-year WWE run.
The Viper recently completed two decades as a WWE Superstar. When one talks about the greatest superstars in the history of the company, Orton's name is bound to come up somewhere at the top. He has been a mainstay on WWE TV for the majority of his time with the company, and he has done it all in the squared circle.
Orton recently looked back at some of the greatest moments of his run so far. In one highlight, he talked about his TLC match with John Cena at Tables, Ladders & Chairs 2013. The bout in question was contested for both the WWE and World Heavyweight Championships, and Orton ultimately emerged victorious.
Here's what Orton had to say about his opponent, Cena:
"I love John, he was my favorite opponent," said Orton. "Coming up, through my career, I learned a lot from him. I just remember it being like, every other match I had with John. Especially, big match John... whether it was Manias, SummerSlams, Royal Rumbles, you name it. He always had the crowd in the palm of him hand. It was a little because they loved him so much, or they hated him so much. He understood how to get those emotions from them. It wasn't just some coincidence. Dude's a genius. I miss you, John. I miss you." [11:04-11:37]

While Cena firmly established himself as one of the biggest babyfaces of all time, Orton thrived as a sadistic heel. Their rivalry gave the WWE Universe a series of classic outings that many fans still cherish to this day.
