#4 Styles mocking Orton

Last week on RAW, Randy Orton pulled off a great piece of acting and included a lot of heelish tactics in his current character to outsmart The Phenomenal One.

Orton faked an injury to his knee, which brought out AJ Styles who made fun of him. Orton then delivered an RKO to Styles to show that he wasn’t injured and just getting to The Phenomenal One.

Corey Graves deleted his Tweet! More details HERE.

This week, Styles faced Akira Tozawa in a singles match. During the match, Styles hit Towaza with the Phenomenal Forearm but did not go for the pin. He instead hit Towaza with a hanging DDT just like Orton does, and then hit him with an RKO to pick up the victory.

This was an interesting way to continue the rivalry between Styles and Orton without bringing out Orton this week.

Styles did extremely well to mock the 13-time World Champion and made an example out of Towaza which worked really well for his character.

Will Orton try to level the playing field once again on RAW next week? It will be interesting to watch before the two men get their match for the Royal Rumble.
