This would honestly be one of the biggest matches in WWE history. Two of the greatest Superstars to ever step in the ring squaring off to break one of WWE’s most legendary records at the biggest stage of them all!

I can only imagine the amount of hype around this match. Forget Orton vs Edge, this one is your greatest wrestling match ever. 

Over the past few weeks, “The Legend Killer” has time and again expressed his desire of breaking Ric Flair’s all-time record of most championship reigns and cementing his legacy as the best.

Currently, Orton stands at 13 Championship reigns, while Ric Flair holds his record at 16. What isn’t surprising is that John Cena has the same amount of Championship reigns as Ric Flair.

With John Cena out of the picture currently, Randy Orton has ample time to bridge the gap and make it 16. Ric Flair also encouraged him to do that before getting punt-kicked in the head.

Randy Orton has to win the title 3 more times

This match will definitely be the biggest thing. Both Superstars have been in the business for over 20 years. The experience they carry with themselves along with the characters they have made famous are priceless.
