Randy Orton Hits Roman Reigns With RKO – Roman Reigns stirred things up on the January 19 episode of WWE SmackDown. Even though Randy Orton, AJ Styles, and LA Knight inked the deal for a Fatal 4-Way Match with hopes of landing the WWE Universal Championship, Roman, backed by Paul Heyman, was initially hesitant to put pen to paper.
As the night unfolded, Roman didn’t stay on the sidelines for long. After Randy Orton’s win against Solo Sikoa, Roman blindsided him with a surprising Superman Punch. Shortly after, Roman signed up for the big match at WWE Royal Rumble. Looking to end the night on his terms, Roman aimed for a spear on Randy Orton, but things took an unexpected twist as Orton countered with a sudden RKO.
Notably, the segment also featured Randy Orton executing his signature RKO on both AJ Styles and LA Knight.
This marked Randy Orton’s first successful RKO on Roman Reigns since his return at WWE Survivor Series in 2023. The unexpected turn of events added a new layer of anticipation to the unfolding storyline.
