10 Best Ever Counters To WWE Wrestling Finishers

10. RKO Outta Nowhere #1

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jjiQmpuqj8s The Viper is no stranger to awe-inspiring reversals - his name will appear on this list more so than anyone else's, and for great reason. Despite a WWE career of over 13 years, Orton still continues to find new ways of executing his emphatic finisher, the ever-popular RKO, in situations you'd never have expected him to hit it. It's no wonder why the 'RKO outta nowhere' vines got so big at one point, even with those who don't necessarily like wrestling. One RKO that doesn't quite get the recognition it deserves came at the 2008 Royal Rumble. As Orton defended his WWE Championship against Jeff Hardy, the enigma looked to be closing in on a victory. Setting up for his patented Twist of Fate, Hardy would attempt to deliver the move only for Orton to roll through with the momentum and nail him with an RKO as Hardy turned back around. It may not be the flashiest RKO on this list, but the fluid motion and seamless transition from finisher to finisher worked so well and came across so beautifully that it deserves to be included here.
