WWE veteran Randy Orton had an epic reaction to a fellow superstar doing his iconic top rope pose at tonight's live event in Cardiff, Wales. The superstar who did the pose was the crowd-favorite Johnny Gargano.

At tonight's WWE Cardiff house show, a massive six-man tag team match was contested, featuring some of the promotion's top stars. The Viper teamed up with DIY (Johnny Gargano & Tommaso Ciampa), and the trio took on The Bloodline's Jacob Fatu, Tama Tonga and Tonga Loa.

At one point, Johnny Gargano climbed the top and did Randy Orton's iconic pose to a loud pop from the fans in attendance. As soon as Gargano climbed down, The Viper reacted to the pose by clapping at him. Check out the hilarious footage below:

The hard-fought battle ended with Orton and DIY picking up a huge win over The Bloodline. As expected, Orton received the biggest pop from the capacity crowd. On the other hand, the fans in attendance heavily booed The Bloodline.

Solo Sikoa leads the villainous faction on WWE SmackDown, and they are currently feuding with Roman Reigns and Jimmy Uso. The Bloodline put Reigns and Uso down during the final moments of the latest edition of SmackDown in a massive display of dominance.

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.
