More on Randy Orton teasing AEW move

Will Orton move to AEW?

Dave Meltzer has also spoken about Randy Orton's contract situation on Wrestling Observer Radio, stating that All Elite Wrestling would take him in a heartbeat. He revealed that AEW would do anything possible to get the Viper and with his contract expiring soon, WWE have a lot to do. He said:

"I think AEW would grab him in a heartbeat. I guess because of his name value, he will probably be considered a big coup. I don’t know if that’s the right move. But It’s a hard one to turn down. It depends, I don’t know, everyone’s different.”

“The guys who really want to do kickass matches and things like that, those guys I could see wanting to go to AEW because you get less restrictions and you are going have a lot more say-so in creative but the guys who are in it for money as their primary thing I think that their goal is to probably use AEW to make more money from WWE. Randy Orton, should be, his contract is coming up.”
