#5 Hope isn't true: Randy Orton teases leaving the WWE

Randy Orton

Randy Orton's behaviour on social media turned quite a few heads in the WWE Universe this week. It started off with Revival members Scott Dawson and Dash Wilder tweeting at Orton and commenting about how their partnership never truly got off the ground. Orton replied simply by saying, “2020”.

If that wasn't enough for you to see where this was heading, he also posted the following photo on Instagram:

We know that Orton's current WWE contract ends soon but despite him openly hinting at a move to AEW, rumors suggest that this is just a way to get a better contract with WWE and that he has no intention of leaving the company.

Here's what Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer had to say about it:

“Orton got a lot of talk this past week with a tease on Twitter. He could just be having fun, but Orton’s ten-year WWE deal expires in 2020 and he’s in a great position to play both sides against each other, and that’s the smart thing to do. In the end, for someone like Orton, who is believed to be making in the $3 million per year range, and doesn’t work a full house show schedule, WWE is probably the better place.”
