A WWE star has called for a popular finishing move to be banned following this week’s SmackDown (March 8).
Opening SmackDown in front of a sold out American Airlines Center in Dallas, TX was United States Champion Logan Paul, who looked to correlate WWE’s massive success in recent years to his arrival in the company.
As well as this, Paul revealed that his Prime energy drink, would become WWE’s first-ever centre-ring sponsor for every WWE PLE going forward – beginning at WrestleMania 40.
Paul would then bring out Prime’s co-founder and fellow YouTuber KSI, who joined Paul in the ring to celebrate the occasion.
Unfortunately for KSI though, similarly to his last WWE camera at WrestleMania 39 it ended in tragedy as he was given an RKO by The Viper Randy Orton.
In response to Orton’s actions, one of Paul’s few WWE on-screen allies took to Twitter to call for consequences against the 14-time world champion – specifically the RKO being banned.
The Aussie Icon Grayson Waller posted a picture of he, Paul and some WWE officials escorting an ‘injured’ KSI backstage following the attack, along with the request:
Ban The RKO
Orton and Kevin Owens defeated Waller and Austin Theory in SmackDown’s opening contest, before Paul attempted to attack The Legend Killer once again with the brass knuckles.
Thankfully for Orton, his attempts were unsuccessful, however, when Orton attempted to give Paul a taste of his own medicine he almost struck Owens – leading to a fairly tense moment between the two.
