Why did Randy Orton Change the RKO?

Why did Randy Orton Change the RKO?

[shawnmichaels]

Whether he does it with one hand or both, It's still the most iconic finisher of all time.

[shawnmichaels]

One handed RKO looked cool to me, Not to mention it perfectly fits his character at that time.

This man was literally doing his signature pose while hitting the rko. Legend

[JalenPrice_]

I think him switching it to the 2 handed grab is more vicious. Because it almost seems like he’s snatching you into the RKO instead of being acrobatic with it.

[gamerboi]

Two hands makes the RKO look more cleaner honestly

[SuperRKO]

“Early into his career” proceeds to show a clip of him RKOing sheamus…

[AJMashUps]

Doing RKO with 2 hands feels like Randy is doing a Stunner or BFT

[manitsangani]

One hand RKO looked clean and the sound of ring was 🔥

[bigyonkog]

It also looked so goddamn cool with 2 hands rather than 1. One handed looked more rough and a little awkward but 2 handed just looks like an absolute masterpiece

[bobbyseafood]

Tbh I’m a huge fan of the 1 hand RKO but at same time the reason for him changing it is totally understandable

[schmokehng]

Smoothest finisher especially early years with the one hand. So satisfying to watch

[DavidPunk]

One of the safest and laid back workers

[helpoj]

The one hand rko is so iconic, that last minute tap on the head after

[breakrdude]

Me personally I actually prefer the double handed version. It's safer and to me I think it makes it feel a lot more devastating because with both hands locked in, the opponent really doesn't have anywhere to go once they are in the move.

[anonymous-vhur]

_It will remain iconic and OG no matter what_

[Mjwara]

To be honest, as the years went on, Randy perfected the RKO.

[yunglord]

His beginning career RKO's was crazy because he jumped hella high lmao

[patrickgoodman]

I liked the one hand with the slap on the back of the head lol

[akshaysinghpanwar]

Doesn't matter, RKO is the most iconic finisher

[dukeupadhyaya]

I hope he can still do the RKO now.

If not, then no problem. I hope he can still wrestle for few more years.
He's a generational talent

Let's punt kick everyone to hall of fame 🐍
