Wrestling veteran believes WWE star Randy Orton will break Ric Flair's record

Ric Flair is one of the greatest pro wrestling stars of all time. The Nature Boy has won a world title on 16 occasions, a record that is yet to be surpassed. However, Randy Orton and John Cena are close to breaking the record as the Legend Killer is a 14-time world champion while Cena has held a world title on 16 occasions.

With Cena in the twilight phase of his career, wrestling veteran Magnum T.A. believes that the Apex Predator will end up being the star with the most world title reigns and will surpass both John Cena and Ric Flair.

"[Randy Orton]'s got plenty of time to get those additional title shots. And he, undoubtedly will get them and surpass Flair and Cena," he said.

Ric Flair played an instrumental role in shaping Randy Orton's WWE career as the Legend Killer was a part of the Evolution faction which also included Triple H and Batista. Both Orton and Batista were rookies when they joined Evolution but went on to achieve great things in their careers.
