4 WWE Superstars Randy Orton requested to work with and 2 he did not

#3 Randy Orton requested to work with John Cena

Including live events, Randy Orton faced John Cena in 124 one-on-one matches on WWE’s main roster between November 2005 and February 2017.

After almost three years away from each other, it looked as though the long-term rivalry could be renewed in November 2019 following an interesting comment that Randy Orton made on Instagram.

In response to a magazine that featured a picture of Cena and the words “up for a challenge”, Randy Orton suggested that he should go head-to-head with his old rival one more time at WrestleMania 36.

Cena revealed in an interview with Sports Illustrated that he was unaware of Randy Orton’s challenge, but he was “very eager” to return to WWE at the time.

“I wasn’t even aware of that. I never make the matches, I’m just grateful to be able to perform in WWE. Every day away from it, I miss it more and more and more. I’m becoming more honest with myself about how much I miss it. I’m very eager to get back into a WWE ring soon.”

As it turned out, Randy Orton lost against Edge in a Last Man Standing match at WrestleMania 36, while Cena was defeated by Bray Wyatt in a cinematic Firefly Fun House match.
