Summary

Randy Orton says a singles match and feud with Finn Balor is still on his WWE wish list.

While reflecting on opponents he has crossed paths with over the years, Orton noted that Balor is one of the notable names he has never faced one-on-one. He said that is something he would like to change before his career is over.

The timing stands out because Balor is coming off the WrestleMania 42 weekend, where his match with Dominik Mysterio was reshaped into a Street Fight, and Orton remains one of WWE's most protected veteran singles stars.

Quote from Randy Orton

Speaking during WrestleMania week, Orton said:

"Finn Balor to me, I've been in the ring with him but I've never had a singles match, let alone a feud. I would love to be able to say that I did by the end of my career, I think Finn Balor is an amazing talent. There's nobody smoother than him."

What Orton vs. Balor could mean for WWE

An Orton vs. Balor program would immediately give WWE a fresh marquee matchup between two established names who have somehow avoided a singles feud. That matters in a company where many top combinations have already been revisited multiple times.

It also says something about how Orton views Balor's standing. Orton did not frame this as a nostalgia pick or a throwaway opponent. He singled Balor out as a talent worth sharing a full feud with, which would make any future program feel like a meaningful creative lane rather than just another weekly television match.
