Randy Orton has only been back in WWE for a week, but he has already encountered some formidable new opponents. Additionally, the 43-year-old wrestler has faced disapproval from one previous superstar.
Orton officially signed on to the brand and made his presence known on the December 1 SmackDown after making the announcement. Orton delivered his trademark RKO on general manager Nick Aldis. Someone close to Aldis shared his displeasure on social media a few days later.
Mickie James Aldis reaction to Randy Orton’s RKO to Nick Aldis
Raw and SmackDown were both without a designated general manager for an extended period. Things were being handled by Adam Pearce. Triple H, however, made an appearance at the season premiere of SmackDown.
Following an intense bidding battle with Adam Pearce, General Manager Nick Aldis was able to secure Randy Orton’s exclusive signing. Aldis raised his hand in protest as Orton warned Roman Reigns after an altercation with The Bloodline and an assist from LA Knight. Having said that, Aldis won the RKO after the phase.
The event was discussed by Mickie James-Aldis, who is Nick Aldis’s wife. Just before Orton submitted, Aldis shared a photo of him lifting his hand. “It was all going so well…,” Aldis captioned the photo, dropping hints about something happening with The Apex Predator.
There was a bit of anger in Mrs. Aldis’s voice as she shared facts. Fans may be interested in the t-shirt concept, even though her post seemed humorous. Orton joined SmackDown last week and is now a regular on the show that airs every week.
Why did Randy Orton RKO Nick Aldis?
After Paul Heyman’s plot backfired, general managers Nick Aldis and Adam Pearce competed to recruit Orton, but in the end, Orton chose SmackDown. Kurt Angle is happy to see the Viper back in the ring. As Orton rejoiced, he surprised Aldis by knocking him out with a right hand.
Orton jokingly RKO’d his new employer Aldis after he formally signed, though it is unknown why. Taking the situation in stride, Aldis replied to it on Twitter. That may indicate Orton’s main goal is to defeat The Bloodline, beginning with Jimmy Uso.
The reason why Orton has a vengeance against The Bloodline is because of an incident that occurred one and a half years ago. With the RKO on Aldis, Orton made his intentions known to Roman Reigns and The Bloodline, vowing even worse consequences for those who have betrayed him before.
