#2 Worst: Not anticipating Randy Orton's RKO

Some of you may not consider this a big deal, and if so, I understand. But I'm often bothered by just how stupid the booking of babyfaces is in WWE. Almost everyone knew that Randy Orton would arrive from the crowd and hit an RKO on Styles, except for Styles himself.

This is certainly not the first time that Orton has hit a move like this. You would expect a superstar as ring savvy as AJ Styles to be able to anticipate the fact that Randy Orton could step in from anywhere at all, to deliver his patented move. But somehow, Styles never saw the move coming, really.

And I really think that this is one of the reasons that so few babyfaces are actually over with the WWE Universe, because they're portrayed as dumb. When the audience at home and in the audience can anticipate something, why can't they?
