Randy Orton Reveals His Favorite RKO After 15 Years With WWE

This week marked 15 years Randy Orton has been in WWE. Orton defeated Bray Wyatt at Wrestlemania 33 to capture the WWE Championship. Orton was recently interviewed by WWE.com and discussed his 15 years in WWE and his favorite RKO. Here are some highlights from the interview:

How does it feel to be a fifteen year veteran in WWE?

“How does it feel? It feels like, “Where did the time go?” to be honest. I’ve been around a long time, and it seemed for the longest time like I was the young guy. Now, all of a sudden, I’ve got fans with beards telling me, “I used to watch you when I was a kid.” So, I don’t know what happened to all those years, man, but the little bit I do remember? It was definitely a fun ride.”

With everything you’ve achieved, what do you consider to be the single greatest accomplishment of your career?

“There’s honestly not one thing. Youngest champ; I think I’ve won more Survivor Series Matches than anything else, maybe I’m tied with Ultimate Warrior; won two Royal Rumbles; won Money in the Bank; I’ve main-evented WrestleMania; I’ve wrestled in 13 WrestleManias — those are all up there. I’ve stolen the show numerous times. I’ve wrestled in Seoul, I’ve wrestled in Auckland, New Zealand. There’s not one thing, there’s a bunch of things.”

The RKO has taken on a life of its own within your career. As the man who performs the move, what is your single favorite RKO of all time?

“I would say probably the one with Evan Bourne. It just shows you how important timing is and I felt like the timing on that particular one was harder to achieve than any of the other ones. The one on Seth [Rollins] at WrestleMania was difficult, too. I’ve done some cool ones with Dolph [Ziggler] and Cesaro, too, and springboards in with Carlito and CM Punk. The timing is what makes that. But the hardest one, the highest-risk one to hit perfect was the Evan Bourne one, and that’d probably be why it’s my favorite.”
