This week’s Monday Night Raw ended with Randy Orton sneaking into the ring and nailing Shawn Michaels with an RKO and a Punt Kick. The attack led to a brawl between “‘The Viper” and reigning WWE Champion Drew McIntyre, but a large group of fans noticed something was off about the segment. All of Orton’s previous punt victims — Edge, Christian, Big Show, Ric Flair — took the Punt Kick as a knockout shot. And yet Michaels was still conscious enough to crawl to the corner and immediately start working his way to his feet. Fans, along with WWE Hall of Famer Bully Ray, took to Twitter to call out Michaels for “no-selling” the move.
Take a look at the footage below and see for yourself. Do you think Michaels no-sold the move? Let us know down in the comment section.

Unhappy Fans
– Shawn Michaels is arguably Top 3 all time as an in-ring performer. But his “sell” of Orton’s RKO and punt kick was shockingly horrible. #RAW

SMH
Randy Orton punt kicks and wrestlers sell it the point they legit look like light their lights were knocked out and done. And then there’s Shawn Michaels who rolls a round a bit, looks bored, and no sells it. Almost even got up. Smh… #wwe #RAW #WWERAW https://t.co/48DfiXl0rJ
