This week on SmackDown, Randy Orton delivered one of the biggest RKOs in pop culture history. The Viper clutched the neck of social media influencer KSI and executed a vicious RKO on him. It has made many headlines on the internet for almost a week. Now, fans wonder what the repercussions are for The Apex Predator after this.

The Legend Killer Randy Orton is on a collision course with Logan Paul. KSI is a friend and business partner of The Maverick, which makes it even more personal than ever for the United States Champion. The professional boxer can play an important role at WrestleMania if Paul and Orton have a match at the event. It is highly likely that the 30-year-old even cost the former WWE champion his match.

Moreover, there is also another possibility of KSI and Paul teaming up to lay out an attack on The Viper. It might lead to the two stars taking on Orton with a partner in a tag team match at the Grandest Stage of Them All. In essence, The Apex Predator might take the help of another star who has had problems with the Social Media Megastar which is Kevin Owens.

The RKO on last week’s SmackDown has opened doors for many possibilities from here on out. Besides, KSI reacted to this on the Impaulsive podcast as well. Furthermore, Paul and KSI’s PRIME Hydration have announced a sponsorship with WWE as well. It is going to be interesting to see how things go for these involved superstars on the road to WrestleMania.

KSI wants to become next Shane McMahon in WWE

KSI was the talk of the town this week after he got the RKO. He elucidated that he had an incredible experience with that move. Thereafter, Logan Paul offered him a full-time WWE offer, to which the professional boxer replied, saying he wants to be the next Shane McMahon in the company.

While speaking on the Impaulsive podcast, the social media influencer stated that he has no problem taking a stunner or a suplex. He added that he wants to be like Shane ‘o’ Mac. For context, McMahon is known for his impressive and high-risk maneuvers. Therefore, the YouTuber went on to mention his name.

I like to see myself as the Shane McMahon of WWE. I don’t mind getting a Stone Cold Stunner. I just want one suplex.

It needs to be noted that Shane was not only popular for his insane sells. However, for his high risk-taking abilities, McMahon has jumped over a tron and even from the top of Hell in a Cell. Although KSI was mentioning his name with a pun, only time will tell if the 30-year-old will take up WWE as a full-time profession or not in the future.
