In a new interview on ESPN’s Get Up, Orton revealed that if given a chance to hit any celebrity with his signature move, the RKO, he would choose Tom Brady due to Brady’s comments on professional wrestling.
“Well, I did see a recent podcast Logan Paul put on. He had Tom Brady on, and Tom Brady had a few things to say about pro wrestling. I think he called it, quote unquote, ‘cute’. So I’ve never met him, but I’d love to meet Tom and hit him with an RKO. I’d say he’d be at the top of the list.”
