Footage Shows Randy Orton Vibing to Trick Williams’ Theme Before RKO Ambush on WWE SmackDown

Randy Orton pulled off another sneak attack on the January 23, 2026 episode of SmackDown—but fan-shot footage reveals he was having some fun before things got violent.

As revealed by the fan footage making rounds online, Randy Orton was emerging from under the ring moments before the final sequence—and not only was he hiding, he was vibing. The footage shows Orton casually nodding along to the beat and clearly enjoying himself as he waited for the perfect moment to strike.

The main broadcast only showed the aftermath: Orton sliding in out of nowhere, hitting an RKO on Trick, then dropping Sami Zayn seconds later after a face-off. The show ended with Orton striking his signature pose over the wreckage. But thanks to this behind-the-scenes moment, fans now know The Viper had a little fun before getting down to business.

Whether it was mind games or just Randy being Randy, this kind of moment reminds fans why Orton continues to be one of WWE’s most entertaining and unpredictable stars.
