Wrestler Randy Orton (44) has been a worldwide star in the WWE for more than 20 years. But he also loves gaming. As has now been announced, he has dedicated himself to the game Elden Ring in 2023 during a long injury period.

This was already known about his passion for Elden Ring: In October 2023, we wrote a somewhat embarrassing gaming news for Randy Orton on MeinMMO:

  • He had stated in April 2022 that he was totally into Elden Ring.
  • But it was revealed that he didn’t level up himself, but paid someone $1,000 to get him “Infinity Runes” and thus a max character.
  • Randy Orton is said to have said that he loved Elden Ring, but it was too hard for him. Instead of “suffering through that crap,” he would rather have paid $1,000. A stain on gaming honor.

    • Elden Ring is considered one of the best games of recent years:

    During a long injury break, Randy Orton played 600 hours of Elden Ring

    This has now become known: Between May 2022 and November 2023, Randy Orton was injured for a year and a half.

    As he now tells in a video, he spent a lot of time with Elden Ring:

    I fucking love Elden Ring. Let me preface this next statement by saying I was out of action for spinal fusion surgery, so I had a lot of time on my hands. I spent about 600 hours on the game… I love this game. The DLC just came out.

    In a conversation with current WWE Champion Cody Rhodes, Orton says he would also like to play Elden Ring with Rhodes, but he understands that as the face of WWE he doesn’t have the time for it right now:
