Bob Orton Says Randy Didn't RKO Rhea Ripley Because "He's A Gentleman"

Bob Orton gives a reason as to why Rhea Ripley did not take an RKO for her troubles on Monday's edition of RAW.

On Monday Night RAW this week, Randy Orton made his return to the red brand, where he would be interrupted by Judgment Day's Rhea Ripley. After a brief back and forth, the crowd would explode into RKO chants and while Ripley acknowledged them with a look of fear on her face, The Viper did not strike physically, choosing to bite in a verbal way instead as he declared "daddy's home".

While speaking on WrestleBinge with Bill Apter, Randy's father Bob Orton would discuss his return to the ring, and after being asked why by Bill Apter, Bob would explain that Randy is a gentlemen. However, Bob noted that he thought there might have still been a chance.

"He's a gentleman. I thought there might have been a chance. He's pretty darn good. I'm telling you he's been training hard. So he's gonna be hard to handle." he said.

Orton has shown in the past that he is not afraid to use his famous finishing move on women, previously hitting the likes of Nia Jax, Alexa Bliss and more with the finisher in the past.

Orton is currently scheduled to appear on tonight's Friday Night SmackDown. You can read more here.
