Randy Orton tops this list due to the sheer number of female superstars he has RKO-ed over the years. Debuting back in 2002, Orton's knack of RKO-ing almost every prominent WWE female Superstar has existed right from his early days.

The Apex Predator has always been an unpredictable competitor in WWE. Here are five times he showed no mercy to someone of the opposite sex:

1) Stacy Keibler, 2005

Orton RKO-ed on-screen girlfriend Stacy Keibler on an episode of RAW leading up to WrestleMania 21. Orton was set to face The Undertaker and the shock RKO was just a statement to the fans who doubted him.

2) Stephanie McMahon, 2009

Orton RKO-ed Stephanie McMahon ahead of his WWE match against her husband Triple H in WrestleMania 25. During the same feud, he handcuffed The Game to the ring ropes and made him watch as he DDT-ed McMahon. What's worse was the kiss he planted on her cheek as he stared at the helpless Triple H.

Beth Pheonix confronted Orton after he had viscously attacked her recently-returned husband Edge. The Viper seemed conflicted at first, but decided to take it too far as he delivered a chilling RKO to his former tag-team partner's wife.

Trish Stratus, The Fabulous Mula and Nia Jax, mentioned earlier, are a few of the other women The Apex Predator has RKO-ed. If there ever was a despicable heel, it is Randy Orton.
