No Mercy: WWE’s Randy Orton lands RKO out of nowhere on his own son
By Kyle Symes
Randy Orton is always ready to deliver a RKO out of nowhere, even if that means delivering one to his own son.
Former WWE champ Randy Orton seemed to be enjoying a nice Memorial Day weekend with his family. There weren’t any voices in his head and the Singh brothers weren’t distracting him from another attack from Jinder Mahal. Still, the master of the RKO couldn’t contain himself when the perfect opportunity to deliver an RKO arose.
The RKO has taken on a life of its own during recent years. Vines and YouTube videos have featured a virtual Orton delivering the finishing maneuver to unsuspecting people. Orton has also made a habit of finding new ways to land the finisher, with his RKO to Seth Rollins and his mid-flight RKO to Evan Bourne being among the most memorable. However, Orton may have outdone himself with his recent RKO out of nowhere.
Enjoying some family time by the pool, Orton’s son went for a running jump into the pool. Instead of a cannonball or belly flop, the poor kid ran straight into a RKO.

“The Viper” has been working a lighter schedule since dropping the title, leaving many to speculate Orton is looking to take time off from the company. However, it appears this is simply some perks Orton has built into his contract. is expected to return to television this week and strike at his rival. The two men are scheduled to rematch one another at the upcoming Money in the Bank pay-per-view. The event is in Orton’s hometown of St. Louis so expect “The Viper” to feed off the crowd’s emotion as he looks to recapture the WWE title.
