Randy Orton is one of the greatest WWE superstars of all time. The Viper is also well-known outside of the wrestling world, among the mainstream media. Moreover, his finishing maneuver, the RKO, is an acclaimed internet meme that has been used for years. Recently, Eladio Carrión, a famous artist, released a music video for a song of the same name as the move. Most notably, Orton made a surprise appearance in the video.

In a hilarious cameo, the wrestling legend first appears “out of nowhere” to RKO Carrión’s cameraman in the background. Randy further proceeds to tell the musician that he has nothing to worry about. However, his sudden arrival puzzled the latter, who questioned why he was present in the video. In response, Orton revealed that he is a huge fan of Eladio and praised him before the two shook hands.

Later, the pair exchanged a few words as the former WWE Champion continued to bring out his ‘fanboy’ side. In fact, Randy Orton asked the rapper if he would sign a ball cap he brought with him. After Eladio Carrión accepted the request, The Apex Predator went back but funnily kicked the cameraman, who was lying on the ground.

Of course, the online reaction to Orton’s appearance in the video was mostly positive. Fans found the interaction between him and the singer hilarious. There have been numerous crossovers involving WWE stars before. With its recent growing popularity, the WWE Universe can expect more of the same in the foreseeable future.
