Randy Orton Reveals Origins of RKO; Credits THIS Former WWE Star for His Iconic Finisher

Randy Orton perfected this RKO over the years
The Viper has perfected this move over the years. Be it turning Seth Rollins’ Curb Stomp into an RKO or catching Evan Bourne mid-air to give it to him, Randy Orton has always shocked the fans with his RKO move. However, Orton has also accepted that making this move requires him to take a bump every time, which has impacted his back over the years. “Unfortunately, it requires me to take a bump every time I give the thing, so there's that,” he told SportsKeeda.
He nursed a severe back injury for at least one and a half years, and made a return only in 2023 at Survivor Series. Recently Orton also opened up about neurologists telling him that he’ll have to quit wrestling if he wants to spend the rest of his life with ease. Still, The Viper didn’t announce retirement and is ready to wrestle till the age of 50.
He has been around WWE for the past 22 years now, hustling since 2002. Even though he has spent a major part of his wrestling career playing heel, Orton is still loved by the crowd. Orton is all geared up to face Tama Tonga in the semi-finals of the King of the Ring tournament. If he wins that, he shall meet 'The Ring General; Gunther at King and Queen of The Ring event on May 25, in Saudi Arabia, Riyadh.
