Randy Orton: I’ve Got An Opportunity At WrestleMania 40 To Hit An RKO That I’ve Never Hit Before

Randy Orton is amped up for WrestleMania 40. 

Randy Orton has hit many memorable RKOs in his career, but his most memorable have generally come at WrestleMania. Fans will never forget his launching RKO on Seth Rollins as a counter to Rollins’ stomp at WrestleMania 31. 

For WrestleMania 40, Orton is hinting at another big RKO. 

“It’s WrestleMania. I’m going to try and pull something out of the hat that I haven’t done before. My stuff is not generally very high risk, but Sunday, I’m going to try and pull some shit out. I’m looking forward to that. Sunday, I’ve got an opportunity to hit an RKO that I haven’t done before and put 80,000 people on their feet. Just knowing that we’re going to get there and that I’m going to have that possibility of shitting the bed or hitting it dead on. When you capitalize on it and feel that reaction, there is nothing better,” Orton told Joe Tessitore of ESPN.

He continued, “There are a couple of things on Sunday where a bunch of people are like, ‘You need to try that once. We have to rehearse that to make sure you can do it.’ If I do that, I know it’s not going to work because I don’t have the crowd. I’m not in the environment. We have to wait until the day and we’re right in the middle of it. I got one in me. I’m going to bed at night and it’s what I’m thinking about.”

Orton is set to challenge Logan Paul for the WWE United States Championship in a triple threat match that also features Kevin Owens.
