Meet the 4 men Randy Orton RKOed at WWE Backlash

Randy Orton went wild with an onslaught of multiple RKOs on WWE officials at Backlash 2025. The Viper was miffed at the referees getting knocked out repeatedly, because of which he couldn't capitalize on the RKOs he delivered to John Cena. Finally, when Nick Aldis came out with four other officials, Orton didn't think twice before attacking them.

He delivered back-to-back RKOs on WWE officials, a move that could also leave him suspended for an indefinite period. The officials he attacked in rage were also former WWE Superstars and are now working as backstage producers in the company.

On that note, here are four people whom Randy Orton attacked at Backlash.

#4. WWE SmackDown General Manager, Nick Aldis

Randy Orton hit an RKO on Nick Aldis for the third time in his career. The SmackDown General Manager was once again at the receiving end from The Viper when he came out with other match officials and had to bear Orton's wrath. Before this, Orton had hit Aldis twice with an RKO, the latest on The Road to WrestleMania 41, when Aldis informed The Viper that Kevin Owens was injured and would no longer be able to compete at The Show of Shows.

The first occasion was when The Apex Predator hit an RKO on Aldis on SmackDown in December 2023. It now appears that the 39-year-old WWE executive could finally be pushed to switch to his wrestling gear and make his in-ring debut against Orton.

#3. Shane Helms (The Hurricane)

Most fans remember The Hurricane as the star dressed in a green superhero costume, and known for his funny promos. His real name is Shane Helms, and he works as one of the backstage producers in WWE now. He was one of the officials who came out with Nick Aldis and received an RKO from him for his troubles. He is also known for his time in WCW, where he wrestled as 'Sugar' Shane Helms.

Hurricane worked in the Stamford-based promotion from 2001-2009 and then left for TNA: Impact Wrestling. He returned to the company in 2018 at the Royal Rumble at number 21 but was quickly eliminated by John Cena. A year later, he came back to the Stamford-based promotion as a backstage producer. In 2022, he also signed a Legends deal with the company.

#2. Shawn Daivari

Shawn Daivari is mostly known for being the manager of former WWE Superstars Muhammad Hassan and The Great Khali. Daivari has also wrestled in WWE and TNA, but he is mostly remembered for being a manager. Daivari started working with WWE as a producer in 2019.

He was released in 2020, as part of the budget cuts by the company, but came back in 2021. Since then, he has been working backstage. He was also one of the producers who received an RKO from Randy Orton last night.

#1. Jamie Noble

Former WWE Superstar Jamie Noble was another official who received an RKO from Randy Orton at Backlash 2025. Jamie has been working as a backstage producer in the Stamford-based promotion since 2009. He has made a few in-ring appearances but mostly works backstage as a producer and was among the officials who were attacked by Orton.

It now remains to be seen whether these officials will respond to Orton's brutal attack on them. We'll find out more about the fallout of the events at Backlash, hopefully this week on SmackDown.
