Claim: Randy Orton wrestles professionally.

Rated-RKO was a professional wrestling tag team on World Wrestling Entertainment -LRB- WWE -RRB- based on the Raw brand . The team consisted of Edge , Randy Orton , and Lita , their valet . The name `` Rated-RKO '' contains part of Edge 's nickname , `` The Rated R Superstar '' , and Orton 's initials/finishing maneuver , RKO .   Edge and Orton formed an alliance in October 2006 to challenge the team of Triple H and Shawn Michaels , collectively known as D-Generation X -LRB- DX -RRB- , who Rated-RKO felt were preventing them from becoming world champions . Rated-RKO would succeed in defeating DX , giving the latter their first loss since their reunion in June 2006 . The following month , Edge and Orton became World Tag Team Champions , and Lita left the group after her legitimate retirement .   In January 2007 , Rated-RKO lost the World Tag Team Championship , which caused tension between the two . The group officially disbanded in May 2007 , after Edge moved to the SmackDown brand . Edge and Orton had occasional reunions until Edge 's retirement in 2011 .
