WWE star Randy Orton blindsided legendary John Cena with his signature RKO to get things moving before the great duo’s eagerly anticipated ‘Backlash’ bout in the ring in May.
Orton stunned Cena by coming out of nowhere from behind and sending the stalwart down with his iconic RKO maneuver while the veteran was engaging the fans at Monday night RAW.

In the nick of time, commentators singled out Orton’s face in the rear of Cena, and when the latter turned around, the RKO expert disentangled his trademark move on the WWE champion.
It was a declarative move by Orton, who will stretch his muscles against Cena at the ‘Backlash’ event set to take place on May 10.
John Cena was in high spirits within the ring at Monday night (April 21) RAW after beating Cody Rhodes at Wrestlemania 41 to be the undisputed WWE champion with a record number of WWE titles.
Retirement Talk: John Cena Opens Up
Cena previously declared Sunday’s Wrestlemania bout against Rhodes to be his last and spoke on the reasons why he had made the drastic retirement decision in his ESPN interview with UFC legend Daniel Cormier.
“What I was trying to do is state facts, and me being honest with my record led me to be like ‘I got to retire.’ The reason I hadn’t had a lot of success in the WWE is that I’m a part-time participant. This needs to consume your life to be great,” Cena said.
“Not only consume your life, but you also have to be curious, passionate, open, and humble. Man, I can only imagine that if you are not fully focused, coachable and 100% involved in fight training. So I’m trying to split time and thinking that I can do both. I just did this a lot less and less and was used accordingly.”
Cena’s fans now want him to finally put the record straight once more against Orton during the ‘Backlash’ event that will take place in St Louis and streamed live in front of Indian audiences on Netflix.
