#2 Randy Orton - O-Zone

Randy Orton 's RKO is one of the most popular finishers in WWE

At this point, the RKO is one of the most legendary finishing moves in pro wrestling. Who hasn't seen a compilation of Randy Orton RKO-ing everything from teenagers jumping off rooftops to malfunctioning missiles? You can check out one such compilation below.

Some newer WWE fans may not remember that Randy Orton even had a different finisher before the RKO. When Randy Orton first came into the WWE, he briefly used a flying crossbody to finish matches before settling for the O-Zone as his finisher.

The O-Zone wasn't a great finisher and it's hard to see Orton reach the heights he has had continuing with it. The move has also been used by other WWE Superstars under the name Overdrive and the Playmaker. Switching Orton over to the RKO later in his career was a masterstroke.
