Randy Orton gets praise after mid-air RKO botch by Je’Von Evans

The main event match on NXT last night featured Randy Orton taking on Je’Von Evans and the match was trending for all the wrong reasons at first: a botched RKO.

Evans went to hit his finishing move which is a corkscrew splash and Orton was supposed to counter it in mid air with an RKO. Unfortunately, the timing was not there and Evans was short and Orton RKO’d just air.

Orton then stood up and hit a standing RKO on Evans to finish him off.

After the three-count and some posing, Orton helped Evans up to his feet, who apologized for the botch.

“I’m so sorry. I’m so sorry,” Evans said looking straight at Orton.

“It’s alright. You’re the f*cking man,” Orton responded as he held Evans’ hand up.

The post-match received a lot of positive feedback from fans, who appreciated Orton and noted his maturity and his long way from when he called Kofi Kingston “stupid” multiple times for botching a spot back in 2009.
