This week’s episode of NXT aired live from St. Louis, MO and it featured a big appearance from Randy Orton. The Viper faced off against Je’Von Evans in the main event and in the end it was Randy Orton who picked up the win.
Near the end of the match Je’Von Evans jumped off the top rope into a corkscrew move that looked like it was supposed to go into the RKO. However, the timing wasn’t quite right as Evans hit the mat without taking the RKO. Orton then picked him up and delivered the RKO to end the match.
