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.

At WrestleMania 31, Orton hit Seth Rollins with a jaw-dropping RKO in the middle of the ring. The move gets talked about by fans to this day. In another instance, Orton hit an RKO on Evan Bourne mid-air, leaving fans speechless.


Randy Orton's RKO on Chad Gable is bound to gain cult status in the coming years, similar to the ones he hit on Rollins and Bourne. What was your immediate reaction to the astounding moment? Let us know in the comments section below.
