Randy Orton returned to Smackdown last night after an absence of three months from WWE television.

The Viper interrupted The Miz’s opening segment of the show and was serenaded by the fans who sang his popular Voices theme song.

The Miz was airing his 2025 grievances when Orton interrupted. The Miz welcomed back Orton and fist bumped him and suggested they team up as MizKO. Orton tried to gauge the fans’ interest in this new tag team but then out of nowhere hit the RKO on The Miz.

Fans chanted “one more time” but Orton went to shake Miz’s hand while he still was flat on his back. He had a change of heart, helped Miz up, wished him a happy new year, and hit another RKO to delight of the fans.
