Randy Orton still has unfinished business with Kevin Owensand hes not giving up on it.
Speaking to Denise Salcedo on the WWE Hall of Fame red carpet, Orton reflected on his original WrestleMania 41 plans with Owens, who had to pull out after announcing he needed neck surgery. But Orton made it clear their story isnt over.
Owens and I are buddies outside the ring, and I really respect him as not only a wrestler, but like a husband and a father, Orton said. I know what its like to go through an injury like that, and so Ive actually had a couple of conversations with him about what to expect.
Orton revealed that he even helped Owens get a second opinion from a surgeon hed worked with in the pastshowing just how close the two are behind the scenes. Its tough to be home, be hurt, and not be able to do what you love to do, Orton continued. As much as some people might think it would be awesome to be home for a long timepaid vacation type stuffthis is in our blood.
And Orton is confident theyll share the ring again when the time is right. Until were told we cant do it anymore, we want to do it. So I know hes got that feeling and I know hell come back and well get to finish what we started.
With Owens out, Orton will now step into an open challenge match at WrestleMania 41his 20th appearance at the event.
