Randy Orton is a well-known name in the world of professional wrestling. He has a dominant in-ring persona, and fans always look forward to his appearance on WWE television. The Viper was previously seen participating in the King of the Ring tournament. However, he suffered a loss against Gunther in the finals of the tournament.
Following that, Orton was away from WWE television for quite some time. He then made his return on the June 14, 2024, episode of Friday Night SmackDown, saving Kevin Owens from an attack by The Bloodline.
Amidst all that, a video featuring Randy Orton has recently gone viral. It seems a WWE star attempted to hit Orton with his finisher, the RKO. The star in question is none other than Tommaso Ciampa. Meanwhile, Ciampa’s decision seemed to be a bad idea.
Tommaso Ciampa agrees, attempting to RKO Randy Orton was a ‘stupid’ idea
Tommaso Ciampa is currently a part of the WWE roster and has been thoroughly entertaining the fans while performing in the SmackDown brand division. Also, he is a part of a tag team with Johnny Gargano named #DIY, aka Do It Yourself.
Meanwhile, Ciampa’s tag team partner, Johnny Gargano, recently took his ‘X’ handle to share a video. In the video, Ciampa told Gargano that he would RKO Randy Orton. Following that, Tommaso ran towards Orton, who was standing outside the ring. Ciampa then tried to RKO The Viper, but Orton moved, and Ciampa crashed on the floor.
Thereafter, Gargano showed Ciampa, who looked in pain. After Johnny shared this video, Gargano also took his ‘X’ handle to repost the video. He wrote, “#DIYRKO #OuttaNowhere #StupidStupidStupid.”

It seems Ciampa realized that attempting an RKO on Orton was a stupid idea. On the other hand, Randy also took his ‘X’ handle to post the video shared by Gargano and wrote, “Bruh”. Thus, The Apex Predator had only one word to say in response to Ciampa’s failed attempt to RKO him.
