During the interview, Orton recounted a unique incident at a high school volleyball game where students recognized him. He said, “I mean, we’re at high schools a lot, and the high school kids will go, and, you know, I was taking pictures and signing autographs for the high school kids. And they were great, right? Very respectful. Always, you know, every five minutes, “Hey man, RKO me.” He was at one of his oldest daughter Alana’s games when kids started requesting him.

He further added, “Yeah, as a matter of fact, like in between volleyball sets, a big huddle of high school kids went down on the court. And I saw it in my peripheral, I didn’t know what was going on, and I kind of, just at the last second, I caught it. But one kid RKO’d the other kid on the court.” Spontaneously, a playful wrestling match unfolded among the students. It led to one student executing an RKO on another and pinning him.
