Randy Orton Demands 15th World Title Sooner Than Later

Randy Orton last won a world title in WWE in October 2020. He has captured the world championship 14 times during his WWE career. Orton is seeking another title reign after Crown Jewel. During an appearance on WWE Countdown, Orton was asked whether Cody Rhodes could go to the dark places like him.

Orton replied that he does not think Rhodes is capable because Rhodes respects him too much to kick his head off his shoulders. Orton stated that punt kicking Randy Orton is not on the menu at Crown Jewel and that he will always be the mentor while Rhodes remains the younger brother.

He added that at Crown Jewel fans will see him not kick Rhodes' block off like he did at WrestleMania and instead advance toward becoming a 15-time world champion. When questioned about what it would take to keep Cody down this time, Orton said he just has to kick him harder.

Orton explained that at WrestleMania he may not have wanted to go to that dark place and may have held something back on the punt to Cody. He declared that at Crown Jewel he is going to let Rhodes have 100 percent of his foot right in his face and does not know that Cody will ever come back after this.

Orton said he is done playing games and needs number 15 sooner than later, even yesterday. He concluded that he is going to beat Cody at Crown Jewel, move on to bigger and better things, and put some gold around his waist.
