Randy Orton has become famous over the past few years for his ridiculous reversals into RKO's from some of the most interesting positions. These counters allowed #RKOOutOfNowhere to become a top trend for WWE a few years ago and an internet sensation at one point.
It seems that Orton was on the receiving end of a fantastic counter on an episode of SmackDown Live earlier this year when Shinsuke Nakamura was able to counter the RKO into an Armbar that almost forced Orton to tap.
This counter took what was a below-par match from both stars into something that many fans called an instant classic, but it was Nakamura who ended up walking out as the winner of the match.
