39-year-old WWE star attempts to attack Randy Orton; fails hilariously
A 39-year-old WWE Superstar has attempted to attack Randy Orton but it did not go as planned. Orton will be competing in a Six-Man Tag Team match this Saturday night at Money in the Bank.
The Viper will be teaming up with Cody Rhodes and Kevin Owens to battle The Bloodline at the upcoming premium live event. A-Town Down Under (Grayson Waller and Austin Theory) will be defending their WWE Tag Team Championship against #DIY (Tommaso Ciampa and Johnny Gargano) this Friday night on SmackDown. However, Ciampa has been trying to connect with an RKO on Randy Orton in recent weeks on social media and uploaded another video today.
Ciampa sported a disguise and went for a running RKO but he failed spectacularly. Orton dodged the move and The Blackheart landed on some storage crates. You can check out the hilarious video in the Instagram post below.
"We have a shot at the @WWE Tag Team Titles this Friday night on Smackdown in Toronto! But first.. #OuttaNowhere! #DIYRKO," wrote Ciampa.
Randy Orton believes WWE SmackDown star is a future world champion
Randy Orton recently claimed that Austin Theory has the tools to be a world champion someday.
Austin Theory defeated John Cena at WrestleMania 39 to retain the United States Championship but the major victory didn't lead to a massive singles push. Speaking with Sportskeeda Wrestling's Bill Apter in an exclusive interview last month, The Viper praised Theory as a performer and has the chance to be a world champion down the line.
"It's hard, I don't have a crystal ball or anything, but Austin Theory is young and he's got a great look. I know where his head's at. I've had plenty of talks with him, and a lot of the things that I did as a kid that I maybe shouldn't have, the distractions that I was confronted with, he doesn't have those. I think he's just a little more gung-ho, motivated. He sees the goal, he sees the prize, he knows what he wants. I think he'll definitely be a world champion one day," Orton said.

Austin Theory missed a recent episode of SmackDown due to dental surgery. It will be interesting to see if A-Town Down Under can retain their titles this Friday night.
