10 Biggest Screw-Ups Committed By WWE Superstars

4. Kofi Kingston Enrages Randy Orton

Yes, a second Randy Orton entry in a row. The guy takes himself so seriously, it's particularly funny whenever a mistake involving him occurs. This particular mistake is an example of Randy's unprofessional attitude and short temper. Kofi was enjoying the hottest run of his career up until this incident, winning fans over and getting a chance to display his otherwise unknown charisma in a feud with Orton. The Viper was booked to win this match via his devastating punt to the head, but Kingston must have forgotten the finish. The young babyface instead tried to stagger to his feet in position for the RKO, despite Orton continually pushing him onto his knees. Randy flipped out when he realised that the finish was about to be ruined, pounding the mat with extra ferocity (he didn't dislocate his shoulder this time) and delivering the most "I'm really annoyed so I'm going to hit this as hard as I can" RKO in history. The mistake would probably have gone unnoticed had Orton simply made the cover. Instead he decided to commit the ultimate wrestling crime - unless your name is Vince Russo - and break kayfabe, audibly yelling "stupid!" at Kofi for everybody at home to hear. We're chalking this one up as a bigger error on the part of the Viper. Everyone makes mistakes, but he could have covered for Kofi by pretending the finish went as planned. Unfortunately he flipped out, landing Kofi in hot water and killing his push in the process. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nXRUA42Mx20
