Randy Orton blindly ranks his favorite RKO.
Over the years, Randy Orton has hit the RKO in many different ways, with the 'out of nowhere' element leading to some incredible counters from the 14 time world champion. One that stands out amongst the rest is a counter RKO Orton hit in 2010, where Matt Sydal (Evan Bourne) would go for a Shooting Star Press, only for Randy to hit the RKO on Sydal's way down.
While speaking in a new video blindly rating his favorite RKO's of all time, Orton would state that the Shooting Star Press RKO was 'all' Sydal, and his number one RKO of all time.
"So I'm gonna say.. this is probably the most famous one I've done. This would be.. might be tied for one. But I think I'm going to go with one on this. Oh, and I have to give him props because it was all him. He can put that shooting star press anywhere. Hitting these guys with an RKO out of nowhere or out of the air, it's all about the timing. So I think because of the timing, it's hard to say because it's this one and another one that I'm assuming you're going to show me next. would be tied for one in my opinion. I'm gonna go with one only because this was the first time that I did anything crazy like that with the RKO."
Orton would later joke that an RKO he took from his wife at the beach was actually the number one RKO of all time.
On the May 9th edition of WWE Friday Night SmackDown, Orton sent a decoy after John Cena before hitting him with an RKO. You can read more about that here.
