Randy Orton‘s RKO is one of the most iconic moves in the history of WWE. Not only fans, but many superstars have attempted the move in their matches. However, a certain 39-year-old star took a bold step by attempting the move on the Legend Killer himself. The name in question is the former NXT Champion, Tommaso Ciampa.

Days ahead of the upcoming episode of SmackDown, Johnny Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa saw Randy Orton talking on the phone. Gargano took to X and shared a video in which The Blackheart was seen annoyed about Randy Orton’s return. He even called Orton’s theme music and muscles stupid. Meanwhile, his tag team partner had a completely different opinion.

Before Johnny Wrestling could say anything, Ciampa decided to give The Viper a taste of his own medicine, thinking he wouldn’t see it coming. However, his plans were halted as the veteran moved out of the way, causing his attempt to fail miserably. Reacting to the hilarious interaction, Orton had just one word to say about it.

The 14-time world champion had a chance to become the King of the Ring for the first time in his career. However, Gunther defeated him in a controversial finish at the King and Queen of the Ring PLE in Saudi Arabia. He recently returned to SmackDown to save Kevin Owens from a beatdown by The Bloodline. The two of them also saved Cody Rhodes after the latter won his match against AJ Styles at Clash at the Castle.

One fan compared his actions to those of former AEW wrestler Samoa Joe, who casually walks away to avoid his opponent’s flying move.

Overall, the fans loved the funny segment and were happy to see the future HOF’er enjoying himself, possibly in the final stages of his career.
