During a recent appearance on Cody Rhodes’ “What Do You Wanna Talk About” podcast, Randy Orton expressed his desire to wrestle John Cena one last time before the latter eventually retires at the end of 2025.

You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:

On talking to John Cena about another match: “Toward the end of the conversation I was like, ‘Hey, what do you think [about a match]?’ So I had no idea [Cena is retiring], for all I know, he’s going to be around for as long as his body will permit him to. But of course he’s got other things going, and this is my life. So hats off for him doing the Hollywood thing. If I could, I would, but I’ve got other priorities. That takes a lot and I don’t think I have it to give. But I said, ‘What do you think?’ And he was like, ‘Randy, you know I’ve never pitched anything, I always do my best with whatever they give me,’ and I’m like, ‘Man, that’s me.’”

On wanting to wrestle him again: “I’d love to work with the man and have a couple TVs, just to set it up and make something special of it. Because no matter how much we faced each other back in the day, almost to the point where people were sick of it, when people look back and think about it, they’re like, ‘Oh. Orton, Cena. Wow. It was this amazing rivalry,’ and to have that callback, that nostalgia concept … we could go out there and have some fun and tear the place down.”
