Randy Orton appeared on the latest episode of WWE After The Bell with Corey Graves where he touched on a number of topics, including his decision to sign a new contract with the company. 

As you may recall, the former multi-time WWE Champion made a number of references to All Elite Wrestling in recent weeks as he appeared to tease a move from WWE. As it turns out, though, he never seriously considered doing anything other than remaining with the company he calls home.

"Yeah, I was just having fun and I’ve been more so now than ever, aware of other guys like Will Ospreay and other guys that work with Cody [Rhodes]," he admitted. Orton added that he's happy where he's at and the strain his body is being put under with his current workload.
 
"This might be upsetting for some people, but I never really saw myself leaving WWE," The Viper continued. "To me, it was about getting to a point where I’m happy and what I’m doing to my body, the amount of time that I’m gone from my family. In the end, it’s all gonna be worth it and that’s where I’m at right now. So I’m definitely happy being a WWE Superstar."
