10 Best RKOs in WWE History

#1 Seth Rollins- WrestleMania 31

Since aligning himself with The Authority, Seth Rollins was pretty much handed everything to him starting from the Money in the Bank briefcase to the WWE World Title and this eventually ignited issues between 'The Architect' and the Authority's former golden boy Randy Orton.

Following Orton's return from injury, after being assaulted by Rollins and The Authority, it seemed like things were pretty okay within the group, but it was just a matter of time before Orton eventually snapped and put a hectic beatdown on Rollins.

In the build-up to their showdown at 'Mania 31, Orton and Rollins initially hit each other with their finishing moves, only for both men to kick-out at two. A frustrated Seth Rollins, however, then attempted a second Curb Stomp, with Orton in a perfect place right in the middle of the ring. Rollins came in charging and placed his foot on Orton's back, only for the latter to pop up and eventually send Rollins high in the air allowing Orton to literally catch Seth in mid-air
