Randy Orton is believed to be earning about $3 million annually from his WWE contract.
As we noted several times here on WrestlePages.com, the 10-year contract he signed with the company back in 2010 is set to expire at some point next year. We personally believe he’ll be a free agent in June.
Dave Meltzer confirms Orton was the biggest WWE name that inquired about AEW from the time of its launch but it’s unknown how serious he was about his latest tease on social media.
Orton is expected to play WWE and AEW against each other and he may even end up getting an even more reduced schedule to stay with WWE. Orton has a relationship with Cody Rhodes as part of the old Legacy faction but it will ultimately come down to whether or not they want to invest heavily in him financially to add him to their roster.
