“Like a Pro”: KSI & Logan Paul’s SmackDown Segment With Randy Orton Garners Viral Support After This Insane Move
Follow Us
This episode of SmackDown opened with the WWE United States Champion, Logan Paul, as he showcased his energy drink PRIME’s logo in the middle of the ring. He announced that he partnered with WWE as a sponsor and that his drink’s logo would now be front and center. Following this, he called out the co-founder and friend, KSI. However, this did not end well when Randy Orton came out and RKO’d KSI.
The WWE Universe could not believe how smoothly KSI took Randy Orton’s RKO
While Logan Paul and KSI were posing in the ring, Randy Orton’s music hit. Despite being prepared to face The Viper, neither saw his entry from the side of the ring. As Orton got ready to RKO Paul, he managed to escape. However, this left KSI in the ring with Orton. Realizing what was set to come, KSI looked like he accepted his fate. Orton turned him around and hit the RKO. While almost every RKO hit goes viral, like the one on Austin Theory last week, this one went viral for another reason. Despite not working in the WWE, it went viral for how smoothly KSI took it.

Could Paul be seeing a future tag partner?
I really wouldn’t mind seeing him pop into WWE for some matches (if he’s working at it and training)

Paul has taken an RKO before, so it led fans to ask if KSI had been training with him.
