The RKO is the best finisher in WWE right now – for a babyface

Randy Orton’s RKO is one of the most popular finishers in WWE history, which is great for when "The Viper" is a babyface, but it’s not so great when it remains his go-to move as a heel.

WWE often tweaks characters when they turn from babyface to heel, and vice versa, to avoid good guys receiving boos and bad guys receiving cheers (Shinsuke Nakamura, for example, recently had his sing-a-long music altered after he turned heel).

However, during Orton’s last heel run between 2013 and 2015, he continued to use his crowd-popping RKO finisher and even now, six years after it was banned for being too dangerous, he has never replaced his punt kick move, which was previously used as an alternative finisher.

We’re not advocating the return of the punt – it's obviously a big concussion risk – but it would be nice to see Orton mix up his move set with a new finisher if he turns heel.
