Recently a video went viral where middle school teens performed a stunt mimicking WWE legend Randy Orton‘s signature move, the RKO. The video starts with a young teen pushing one of his peers some distance away from the seating area of the indoor school auditorium. As soon as he stepped forward, another guy came and called him from back patting him on the shoulder.

As he turned towards the other guy, he performed Orton’s signature RKO on him bringing him down to the ground.  But, the most surprising part lies in the fact that the king of RKO himself was present at the hall. The young middle school boys made sure that Orton was looking at them while they were performing the stunt.

Just after they performed the stunt, another student came forward and pretended to be the referee counting for the pinfall. Immediately all the other kids started to cheer and clap.
