Randy Orton has hit some impressive-looking RKOs in the past
RKO is one of the most popular finishing moves in all of WWE. The finisher shares a resemblance to WWE Hall of Famer DDP's iconic move, the Diamond Cutter. Orton adopted the move way back in 2003 when he was steadily moving up the ranks on WWE RAW.
Orton went on to win several top title belts with the help of the RKO. The move garnered mainstream fame in 2013-14 when people began using it in funny vines on the web.
