WWE veteran star Randy Orton recently celebrated 20th anniversary in the company. He has been a top star in the singles competition and the WWE Hall of Famer Booker T recently claimed that wrestling fans are demanding that Orton needs to make his return as a top singles star again.
Booker T opens up on the matter
Orton is a 14-time world champion in WWE and is widely considered to be one of the greatest stars in the company’s history. This past year, The Viper has taken a step back from chasing world championship glory and has focused on tag team wrestling with his partner Riddle, with the duo capturing the RAW Tag Team Titles twice as RK-Bro.
Despite the current run that Orton is on, Booker T stated on the Hall of Fame podcast that fans want to see Orton back as a top singles performer.
“People want to see Randy back in that position, and I think this hiatus did him a lot of good, as far as being hooked up with Riddle,’ he said. “Being able to go out there and just entertain, put it on cruise control for a minute. That right there, it does the body wonders more than anything. And one thing they always say, ’˜absence makes the heart grow fonder.’ So, my thing is this, with Randy Orton, you can put him right back in that position, let him run if we wanted to.”
