Randy Orton Takes A Break From WWE After Crown Jewel

Randy Orton lost to Cody Rhodes at Crown Jewel 2026 and confirmed he's taking a break from WWE, stating, Whether it’s sooner, or later, I’ll be back. Guaranteed.

At 46, he's not a full-timer anymore and needs time off for family and injuries. With no clear path ahead, this break might set him up for a fresh babyface run when he returns for the Royal Rumble!
