Randy Orton opens up about future career following WWE retirement 

Does The Viper have career aspirations once he hangs up his boots in WWE?
Does The Viper have career aspirations once he hangs up his boots in WWE?

Randy Orton might go down as one of the greatest WWE Superstars of all time, but he doesn't think he'd make a good coach.

Orton began his career in WWE all the way back in 2002. Since that time, The Legend Killer has compiled one of the most impressive resumes in the history of the company. On top of 14 world championship reigns, Orton is certain to be a first-ballot Hall of Famer once he decides to hang up his boots.

However, The Legend Killer doesn't seem to think he has what it takes to coach other stars. In a recent interview with GiveMeSport, Orton was asked if he's interested in being a coach at the WWE Performance Center once his in-ring career is over.

The Viper had mixed feelings on the subject, as he declared that he has trouble effectively articulating himself to new talent:

New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE

"I don’t really think I’d be a good coach because I would start to just ramble," Randy Orton said. "It’s almost like I don’t know how to articulate myself to a group of green guys that are coming into the business that need to learn the basics. If there was three, four or five guys, a small group, and if we could go and talk and sit in the ring. If it could be like close quarters, just a small group of people where we’re not doing drills and stuff, but just talking and maybe watching tape, I think I’d be good in that aspect."

If Randy Orton were to take up coaching after retiring from in-ring competition, he would join many other former WWE Superstars who have done the same, including Shawn Michaels. HBK has successfully translated his natural ring prowess and charisma into coaching young stars in NXT.

Randy Orton's title unification match at WrestleMania Backlash has been changed to a six-man tag bout

For the last month, WWE has been setting up a Tag Team Title unification match between RK-Bro and The Usos at this Sunday's WrestleMania Backlash.

However, it was announced on the latest episode of WWE SmackDown that the unification match had been changed to a six-man tag. RK-Bro will now team with Drew McIntyre to take on The Usos and Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns with no titles on the line.

While many in the WWE Universe have questioned why the match suddenly changed, no real answer has been provided. Does this mean that the tag team titles won't be unified in the future? Only time will tell.
