In the world of professional wrestling, a new challenger has emerged from WWE’s developmental system. Brad Baylor, a promising young talent, has set his sights on an ambitious goal: surpassing Randy Orton‘s impressive record of 14 World Championships. This bold declaration has sent shockwaves through the WWE Universe, igniting a fierce debate about the future of the company and the legacy of its greatest champions.
Orton, a 14-time World Champion, has been one of WWE’s most decorated stars. He achieved his first World Championship at the tender age of 24, making him the youngest World Champion in WWE history.
He penned, “Hey @RandyOrton I’m only 20 years old. I got 4 years to break your record.”
In a recent interview, Orton expressed skepticism about anyone breaking his record, emphasizing the challenges and dedication required to reach such a milestone. However, Baylor, a determined young wrestler, isn’t intimidated by Orton‘s legacy.
He said, “As far as someone becoming the youngest World Heavyweight Champion and taking that from me, I don’t see that happening. Only because I think it was a very special circumstance when I became the youngest World Champion. I was 24 years old, and I don’t know if there’s anyone young enough to make it to that yet. So I think I’m gonna hold that for quite some time, if not from here on out.”
Baylor took to social media to accept Orton’s challenge, highlighting the fact that he has four years to achieve his goal. With his talent, drive, and the support of WWE, Baylor believes he has what it takes to surpass Orton’s record.
Meanwhile, Randy Orton remains sidelined due to a storyline injury inflicted by Kevin Owens. The Viper was brutally attacked by Owens on SmackDown, leading to a stretcher job. WWE has not provided an update on Orton’s status, but it’s expected that he will return to the ring once he has recovered.
