Randy Orton Feels Like He Has A New Lease On Life, He’s In The Middle Of His Prime

Randy Orton says he is in the middle of his prime, and he’s not taking anything for granted.

Randy Orton missed over a year after he had back surgery, and he made his return at WWE Survivor Series. In an interview with Graham “GSM” Matthews of Bleacher Report, Randy Orton discussed his recovery and noted that he felt great. He went on to note that he was in the middle of his prime.

“The surgery was a success,” Randy Orton said. “I put on 30 pounds of muscle, purely because of my change in diet and the fact that I was able to train differently and areas I had to leave alone for such a long time. My body really reacted. I feel, at 275 pounds, I’m the weight that I should be, so I feel great now.

“I feel like I got a new lease on life that, at 43, I can honestly say I’m smack-dab in the middle of my prime. Some people might roll their eyes at that statement after 24 years in the business, but that’s how I feel. Never in my 30s was I feeling this durable or as pain-free as am I now. I’ve got a new outlook and I don’t want to take a second for granted because I realized how quickly it can all be taken away because it almost was.”

At WWE Elimination Chamber, Randy Orton will compete in the Men’s Elimination Chamber. The winner will earn a world title shot at WrestleMania 40.

WrestleZone will have coverage of WWE Elimination Chamber as it airs on February 24.
