WATCH: Logan Paul's Friend KSI Gets RKO From Randy Orton on WWE SmackDown

The latest episode of Friday Night SmackDown, on March 8, was headlined by the return of Logan Paul, who courted controversies for his tricky attack on Randy Orton with a brass knuckle at the recently concluded Elimination Chamber. Paul, the reigning United States champion, appeared on the weekly show with his title even though he had no scheduled fight. On the other hand, Orton was part of the SmackDown roster as he was slated to compete in a tag-team match with Kevin Owens.

Before the duo could take on the pair of Austin Theory and Grayson Waller, Orton made a surprise entry into the ring and launched a brutal RKO on KSI, who was there to announce a new business deal between WWE and his company Prime Energy drink. Logan Paul, who is the business partner of KSI, attended the SmackDown show at the American Airlines Center in Dallas for the same purpose.

It marks a great achievement for Prime, which is set to become the first-ever centre ring sponsor of WWE’s every premium live event from the upcoming edition of WrestleMania. Logan Paul and KSI were addressing the crowd when the entry music of Randy Orton emerged at the arena. All eyes were on the ramp but The Viper sneaked into the ring from behind. He attempted an RKO on Paul.

The influencer-turned-wrestler managed to dodge the attack but KSI was left alone. Randy Orton looked desperate to take revenge for his defeat at the Elimination Chamber. He delivered the RKO on KSI when Logan Paul was present at the ringside.

Orton then went on to pour an entire bottle of the Prime Energy drink. The attack from the reigning World Heavyweight Champion certainly hurt KSI, who was later seen with a neck brace wrapped around his neck.

Referring to the RKO, KSI shared a hilarious post on X (formerly Twitter) where he wrote, “Why am I always just getting beat up on WWE?”

Logan Paul is keen to clash against Randy Orton at WrestleMania 40, scheduled for April 6 and 7. After being thrashed by Orton, KSI is expected to assist Paul at the grandest WWE event while Kevin Owens will be there to support his tag-team partner.
