Randy Orton has been one of the most consistent performers in the WWE roster and his finishing move - 'The RKO' is a major component of his appeal. What has made the move so popular over the years is the 'out of nowhere' aspect that it is known for.
I mean, we've seen some sensational RKOs even in 2019 which is amazing if you consider how long Randy Orton has been doing the move. To keep the move fresh, Randy Orton faked his injury and delivered an RKO that very few people actually saw coming.

This was one of the most exciting aspects of the show for me, at least. The rest of RAW has been very hit and miss, but the RKO to AJ Styles is something that fans will definitely remember.
Were you fooled by Randy Orton's injury on RAW, ladies, and gentlemen?
