Ladder Matches in the WWE usually spell crazy spots and high-risk maneuvers and one of the rather more insane Money in the Bank spots was pulled-off at WrestleMania 23 by 'The Viper' Randy Orton.

With the Money in the Bank briefcase hanging on top, Orton was on an absolute roll, destroying every single one of his opponents, by dishing out one RKO after the another. However, it was eventually CM Punk who became the victim of one of the most iconic RKOs' of all time.

With two ladders being set up in the middle of the ring, Punk made his way to the top in order to unhook the MITB briefcase, but it was Orton who put a stop to the Second City Saint and he did so in spectacular fashion. Orton got hold of Punk at top of the two ladders and then delivered a monstrous RKO from a few feet above the ring.
