5 Women Randy Orton has RKO'd in WWE

#2 Stacy Kiebler

Randy Orton won the World title at SummerSlam 2004, followed by which he was thrown out from Evolution, and suffered a brutal beatdown at the hands of his former friends. Orton lost the title to Triple H soon after, and failed to win it back over the next few months. At the time, Orton got romantically involved with Stacy Keibler, and it seemed like things were getting pretty serious between the two.

As WrestleMania 21 approached closer, Orton set his sights on none other than The Undertaker. On the March 21, 2005 edition of Monday Night RAW, Orton and Stacy Keibler came out, and The Legend Killer made it clear that his confidence was at an all-time high at the time. Orton then stated that he has a message for the fans who think that he will lose at The Show of Shows, and followed it up by hitting an unsuspecting Stacy with an RKO. The fans watched in horror as Orton left the ring, while the officials tended to a fallen Stacy.

He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.

When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
