Their only WrestleMania bout occurred in 2008, where they participated in a triple threat match alongside Triple H.
During a recent episode of WWE’s The Bump, Randy Orton discussed the prospect of entering WrestleMania 40 as a 14-time World Champion, trailing just two reigns behind John Cena’s 16. Orton mentioned that while the pursuit of title records doesn’t necessarily keep him up at night, he feels he has ample time to achieve or even surpass the record currently shared by Cena and Ric Flair.

He believes he has sufficient time left in his career and feels confident that he will have the chance to wear the championship belt one or two more times.
