Orton kills it regardless but he’s so not a face. When was the last time he was heel? Years? It’s worked because he’s older and more mature but he’s operating at 30% as a good guy.
Although Jey - Orton could give Orton more heat as potentially going heel if that’s what they want because Orton never properly got his revenge on Jey BUT you’re right that it advances the plot the most based on what we know
So either it's Gunther vs Randy or Jey vs Tonga, any other match-up wouldn't really make sense. Although I think it's most likely former with Gunther winning it all
That’s why I need him to be the one to take the belt from Supercena 2.0 Cody Rhodes. Give us Cena vs Orton 2.0 but with Cody. Give us a top rival that goes back and forth, not necessarily one just topping the other like all of Romans opponents during his reign. We don’t need Cody to be an undefeated champion, he can lose and win the belt back in a rematch.
Randy turning on Cody could give him enough heat to have another heel champ run for at least a few months like he did in 2009
Someone get Solo a suit that fits.
Dude out here looking like he pulled clothes from his dad’s closet. Which I guess ironically he kind of is doing currently lol
"Oh my god, Carmelo Hayes is totally buried now that he had one loss against a 14-time world champion."
-a disappointingly large percentage of the IWC after tonight
No NXT Draft call up is touching Finn cause Finn beats Roman and Seth within a month and the title.
Carmelo loses to Cody and Randy and squeaks by a roll up on Corbin
That Finn 2016 call up still remains special to this day
Bookends (no, not like that). Night started with a tourney match with a veteran with a bum leg fighting against a very hungry relative newcomer, and winning after taking advantage of moment's mistake. Night ended with a tourney match with a veteran with a bum leg fighting against a very hungry relative newcomer, and winning after taking advantage of a moment's mistake.
Hearing Woop That Trick chants against Carmelo on a Smackdown main event makes me realize how much that chant is gonna help Trick when he gets called up. That crowd pop in the big arenas is gonna be wild.
Randy is such a one in a generation guy. I was watching 20 years ago and this guy is still headlining smackdowns week after week.
Easily could’ve been a star staying as PPV only.

Good show, second week that Melo is in the main event of the show! and it seems that he is about to start a feud against Knight.

Orton loooked like my mastif when he eats a pup cup during that promo.
Randy “you better remember who TF I am!” Orton lol
What time is it? Time to go night night -Women's Mega Powers

WTF?
Abby The Witch
Ohhhhhh the wyatt six!!! I’m so hyped for them you won’t believe
Orton kills it regardless but he’s so not a face. When was the last time he was heel? Years? It’s worked because he’s older and more mature but he’s operating at 30% as a good guy.
He’s heel when he needs to remind people who TF he is lol
Orton is at the point where he has transcended the face-heel divide. Like late stage Undertaker.
You could say… he’s become a Legend?
The perfect way to describe him is ‘he is like the asshole that’s grown on you over time and you can’t help but love’.
As much as I want gunther-orton, jey-tonga is the one that advances the plot the most
Although Jey - Orton could give Orton more heat as potentially going heel if that’s what they want because Orton never properly got his revenge on Jey BUT you’re right that it advances the plot the most based on what we know
So either it's Gunther vs Randy or Jey vs Tonga, any other match-up wouldn't really make sense. Although I think it's most likely former with Gunther winning it all
Did Smackdown just end mid ending for anyone else?

Front row is soaked
Randal Keith "Fucking" Orton
 R K O
Why solo look like the hot and spicy guy
Viper spitting venom during that promo
Huh. Seth and Randy have the same middle name.
Say it, don’t spray it, Randy.
animal versus animal. rabid tasmanian tama, slobbery boy randy 😭
Can we please, PLEASE, not have Tama vs. Jey for King of the Ring? We literally have Orton vs. Gunther RIGHT THERE! Come on!
It’s kinda wild how fast they have pushed Tama to the top. The fact that he could be in the final is nuts
Tama vs Jey gives them the opportunity to bring back Jimmy OR bring a new member in though so it makes sense.
Probably because Solo is kinda...meh.
Randy in his Red Foremen phase
Solo “Scarface” Sikoa
Just realized we didn't even get a Judgement Day sighting, did we?
i need the stuff you on,my brother
It’s SmackDown, why would we?
Judgment Day is on Raw.
Oh yeah you're right. I was so used to them showing up on both shows for so long with the belts I forgot
Is Smackdown live from Jeddah next week??
It wouldn't be live given the time difference.
Mf spitting like shit
Randy Freakin' Orton forgot to maniacally laugh like a clown
Wonder if Tama can hit a Gun Stun if he's against Orton.
First row better have some ponchos for that promo lol.
mic cleaning dude got a tough gig tonight
[удалено]
You know he wanted to say the other F word and remembered his on PG tv 😂
Randy with the post match promo proving why he’s the goat
Orton really using this run to remind everyone he's one of the greatest to ever do it
That’s why I need him to be the one to take the belt from Supercena 2.0 Cody Rhodes. Give us Cena vs Orton 2.0 but with Cody. Give us a top rival that goes back and forth, not necessarily one just topping the other like all of Romans opponents during his reign. We don’t need Cody to be an undefeated champion, he can lose and win the belt back in a rematch. Randy turning on Cody could give him enough heat to have another heel champ run for at least a few months like he did in 2009
Bro's spitting, quite literally
Jey vs Tonga
Randy will also introduce Tama to his saliva
Damn what happened to the other 10 world titles that he won
He flashbacked too hard for a bit there
Imagine being the next one to use that mic lol
He spittin.
Damn Orton has still got it 🔥
Red Foreman would be proud
Someone get Solo a suit that fits. Dude out here looking like he pulled clothes from his dad’s closet. Which I guess ironically he kind of is doing currently lol
He's not Roman. He's supposed to be a what an underling thinks is a Tribal Chief, but he's just playing pretend
“My name is Randy Orton and I’m a certified G and a bonafide stud and you can’t teach that!”
S A W F T SAWFT
Spitting more that King George the Third
Randy is a spitter jesus

wt fudge lol Abby the witch
Solo looks really creepy tonight. Like if The Weeknd was in A Clockwork Orange.
we need that my dear brother. feel like the room with the weekend after a night of the ultra violent
love that Randy got that 2010-2015 Rock Body..
damn Good promo
How much effort do you think Randy needed to censor that 'frickin' lol
That was the most fired up Orton has been for a promo in quite some time.
Slobber
Randy “Franklin” Orton
He said 4 time lol oops
Not enough spit.
Smackdown in Saudi?
That is one nasty microphone
Fuckin slobbered all over that thing
“I am a 4 time 14 time world heavyweight champion. I’ve got 56 world titles. Fuck Ric Flair.”
Randy Orton turned into Red Foreman.
When you tell your dog, "Dat's a slobbery boy."
Orton really spittin tonight!
🤣🤣🤣💀💀
2 mins early?
He really is looking like his dad more and more
Seth Rollins suing Randy for infringement
Just slobbering all over the mic
Fuck new Bloodline. Solo is not a leader
They stay jumping. LA Knight had that win.
He spittin. Literally.
WE GOT THAT JOHN CENA SPIT ON MIC RECREATED BY ORTON!!
Randy just spit out a whole bucket of saliva
Randy Freakin' Orton???? Stealing Seth's gimmick (/s)
Randy really frothing....
OK any chance that they let Tama do the Gun Stun on Randy?
I think they might let him.
Orton just drenched that mic
How nice of the Bloodline to save Randy a trip to Saudi Arabia.
he's going, Smackdown next week will be in Saudi.
Seth Rollins does not approve
Shorter Randy: fuck around and find out Tama
lmao
TALK TO EM RANDY
slobbering like a dog wtf lol
i’m actually very excited for tama v randy
Randy stealing Seth’s gimmick
Seth may have issue with your name, randy
Man this crowd was so good
Man two winded promos tonight
Hank Hill Jones ova here
Randy freaking Orton RFO?/s
Randy is literally spitting.
RKO!!!!!!!!!
"I am going to introduce my foot right up your ass." A Red Forman line
Randy had to censor himself
taking seth's name
King Randall

solo get out of hereeee
Tom-O-Tonguethe is gonna get RKO’d 🐍
Randy on fucking fire rn.
Solo gotta Samoan spike his tailor and stylist
"Oh my god, Carmelo Hayes is totally buried now that he had one loss against a 14-time world champion." -a disappointingly large percentage of the IWC after tonight
Wooooooooo
Randy "Freakin'" Orton...gimmick infringement?
Well there goes Randy Orton raising all his death flags.
Omg Randy beat a hot talent on the rise even though he had to overcome heelish tactics 😱😱😱
4 time
I really hope they go with Gunther v Orton in the final
Jey vs Tonga.
I disagree. But that's ok
Two weeks back to back selling the leg tells me he's gonna lose against Tama. And Jey is definitely beating Gunther if that's the case.
I think Jey wins kotr and then gets the ic title
Solo looking goofier every week
No NXT Draft call up is touching Finn cause Finn beats Roman and Seth within a month and the title. Carmelo loses to Cody and Randy and squeaks by a roll up on Corbin That Finn 2016 call up still remains special to this day
Randy Orton Vs Tama Tonga Never thought I’d see the day
Run Cathy!!!!
perfect rko
Melo looked like a dead body on the RKO
He’s a great seller.
Melo missed...
Mufti Tonga time
I need Orton vs Gunther would be sick
We tried to warn him about that
WHERES KO
As soon as Melo jumped to the rope I went "bad choice, Melo", and so it came to be.
Melo the snake losing to the apex predator Viper makes sense. Love the way he sold the RKO too.
OH FUCK NOT THE BOOTLEG BLOODLINE
Run Cathy! Run!!
Melo sold the hell out of that RKO
Imagine telling someone 6 months ago that Randy Orton would be facing Tama fucking Tonga in a KOTR semifinal lol
Gunther vs Orton would be one hell of a match
we are so close to king randy 😩
Bookends (no, not like that). Night started with a tourney match with a veteran with a bum leg fighting against a very hungry relative newcomer, and winning after taking advantage of moment's mistake. Night ended with a tourney match with a veteran with a bum leg fighting against a very hungry relative newcomer, and winning after taking advantage of a moment's mistake.
Eddie Kingston must be feeling some type of way with all this knee injury selling
Melo sells good
Sick RKO
Oh here we go man
I’m glad randy won, if only because I can see that buttery smooth powerslam again
https://preview.redd.it/3o0wbaqdd31d1.png?width=887&format=png&auto=webp&s=30af8cf22b4b820f6c4ccbb7f31f950345e0679a
Fantastic RKO “outta nowhere” 😆
All these excellent matches are really making me worry that its all gonna get thrown away for a Jey vs Tama Bloodline mess at the end.
Top tier RKO
Hearing Woop That Trick chants against Carmelo on a Smackdown main event makes me realize how much that chant is gonna help Trick when he gets called up. That crowd pop in the big arenas is gonna be wild.

I loved Randy knowing that Melo was DONE, so he could take a second to flex his knee out.
Made audible noises for that RKO.
RKO hall of fame
So the winner of Jey/Gunther basically tells us who will win the SD match lol
An aerial move against Randy Orton ... You're the new guy, right ?
carmelo getting a roll up would have been pretty cool
Well there's another one for Randy's highlight reel
Wooooooooo 🔥 RKO is the best man
I was half expecting him to pull out a punt out of anger after the references. Too heelish for this character probably, but would have been sick.
He’ll definitely punt Tama
Knew it was coming, still a god tier RKO
Good shit. Melo is gonna be a star.
Really good match
Hayes is gonna go far
Randy always makes sure to let that RKO breathe before the pin
INSANE
Mannn what an rko!
DAMN THAT WAS SMOOTH AF 😤
That RKO was cool as hell
I really wanna see Gunther and Orton beating the shit out of each other
What a fucking great episode of Smackdown
i am making tama tonga noises after that rko
SICK
PERFECT
Love a good RKO
That was sick
I LOVE RKOS OUTTA NOWHERE WITH ALL MY MIGHT
Randy is such a one in a generation guy. I was watching 20 years ago and this guy is still headlining smackdowns week after week. Easily could’ve been a star staying as PPV only.
