That would be pretty wild.

It’s kind of funny that Cena is doing a whole retirement tour and meanwhile, Orton‘s been around longer and as far as I know he’s showing no signs of retirement.

He ain't got Hollywood to run to

you forgot the T in can't accidentally right?

 

[Ricky Smarks]

You’re right. Orton isn’t a sell out

 

[Grim]

Listen, this is just gonna be a me thing

 

[OsBlaze]

That would be pretty wild.

This is part of why I'm happy with the heel turn. Because I can get stuff ran back I want, and it feels fresh because of him being the heel. Give me him and Punk also

Yes. Lmao.

 

[Grim]

Cena sucks eggs. He proved he's untrustworthy! Orton sucks too! I mean, who the heck can trust him?

I remember fantasy booking a heel monster tag team with Cena and Orton

I hope you get everything you want out of it. I just don’t think for me personally in 2025 I care about reuniting a rivalry that they’ve done for 15 years. I get that Cena being the heel will be slightly different but it’s not really something I’m like looking forward to, but I do want to see what they do with it.

 

[Grim]

yep

Did Cena bring back the F-U and Orton the Punt?

 

[Shane]

They’re letting Randy go the fuck off right now
