WWE stars Randy Orton and Nia Jax shocked the WWE Universe on Sunday night during the Royal Rumble match.
Nia Jax, in a surprise move, entered the men’s Royal Rumble as the 30th entrant into the event hours after she was eliminated from the women’s event.

However, her time in the ring was short. Jax put Rey Mysterio over her shoulder, but she was met with a superkick from Dolph Ziggler. Mysterio hit Jax with a 619 before Randy Orton took his turn.
Orton connected on an RKO, which sent the WWE Universe into a frenzy.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}“’You cant hit a woman’- WWE,” one person wrote. “Randy Orton, Rey Mysterio, Dolph Ziggler- ‘Hold our beers.’”
“Randy Orton is going to have a hard time in 2024 apologising for the RKO on that lady,” another person wrote.
One fan was also sure this move would be part of history: “Randy Orton RKO'ing Nia Jax is going to break the internet forever.”
