The WWE Universe recently reacted to Jimmy Uso seemingly protecting Randy Orton while taking his signature move on Friday’s SmackDown.

The Viper recently returned to WWE after almost two years on the shelf with a serious back injury, which required spinal fusion surgery. At one point, it was believed the 43-year-old star would never wrestle again, but he proved doctors wrong and now seems to be in top shape. With that said, it’s a must that the future Hall of Famer is as safe as possible in the ring.

This week’s SmackDown saw Orton defeat Jimmy Uso in the main event. Solo Sikoa ran out to assist Uso, but LA Knight took him out and looked on from the ramp. Jimmy tried to sneak attack The Viper but took an RKO for the pin instead. As seen in the clip below, the second-generation wrestler seemingly protected his third-generation rival on the way down.

While the majority of fans saw this as Uso helping out his fellow future Hall of Famer, others knocked the eight-time tag team champion for allegedly not knowing how to sell the move.
