Randy Orton uses RKO as his finisher. It is easily one of the most famous moves in all of professional wrestling. Known as the Three Most Dangerous Letters in all of wrestling, RKO can come out of nowhere in a match. Besides RKO, The Viper utilizes Punt Kick to dismantle his opponents.

RKO

This is undoubtedly Orton's most famous move and a contender for the greatest finisher in wrestling history. It's a leaping cutter, where Orton jumps and catches the opponent in mid-air, driving their face into the mat. The beauty of the RKO lies in its unpredictability. Orton can hit it from anywhere, anytime, be it after a standing exchange, a reversal of an opponent's move, or even mid-air. This keeps fans on the edge of their seats, never knowing when a match might be abruptly ended by the three most dangerous letters in all of professional wrestling.

Punt Kick

A signature maneuver from Orton's days as The Legend Killer, the Punt Kick is a chilling display of brutality. He delivers a powerful kick directly to the opponent's head, often targeting a weakened state or catching them off guard. This move has been used to take down some of the biggest names in the business and is a testament to Orton's willingness to win at any cost. The move is counted among the most brutal moves in WWE and was even banned for quite a long period before Orton brought it back in 2020.
