WWE Star Addresses Tonight’s Botched Randy Orton RKO

WWE

A WWE star addresses the apparent botch that led to him taking a big RKO from Randy Orton on tonight’s WWE SmackDown.

During SmackDown, there was a moment that caused something of a fracas online as Austin Theory received a stunner from Kevin Owens and an RKO from Randy Orton consecutively.

The issue was that Theory’s timing appeared to be slightly off and his jump into the RKO looked, well, a bit silly.

You can see a clip of it below.

Theory then posted a video addressing the situation, in which he and Grayson Waller said:

Theory: “What do you mean what happened? I mean, the Stunner, I was dizzy, but then the RKO… I keep getting hit with these RKOs, so what did I think? Maybe I was a little dizzy, but, I thought I could just jump over it after the Stunner, but that didn’t work out.”

Waller: “That’s a good idea.”

Theory: “But it didn’t work, man.”

Waller: “Try stuff, try stuff lad, don’t worry.”

So, Theory’s claim is that he tried to jump OVER the RKO.

By the end of that segment, not only had Austin Theory taken a Stunner and an RKO, there had been a big WrestleMania 40 development as well.

SmackDown GM Nick Aldis arrived on the scene to let Logan Paul know that he was going to be defending his United States Championship against both Randy Orton and Kevin Owens at WrestleMania 40.
