SummerSlam 2017 results: Randy Orton capitalized on a Rusev sneak attack

Orton decided to strike like a Viper when no one expected it.

This Randy Orton-Rusev match didn’t take long to start, as The Bulgarian Brute decided to attack The Viper from behind before the bell rang. Rusev fall-away slammed Orton on the barricades.

But as soon as the match started, The Viper decided to strike quickly, delivering an RKO out of nowhere to pick up the win. Orton embarrassed Rusev, and one has to think that The Bulgarian Brute will not be a happy camper on Tuesday.

Orton is a veteran in the ring and knows how to capitalize on any moment. He showed the fans and Rusev that a viper can strike at any moment. There’s not much you can say about this match. Orton made a fool out of Rusev.
