Rated-RKO was a professional wrestling tag team in International Wrestling Entertainment (IWE) based on the Raw brand. The team consisted of Edge, Kevin McAlmond, and Lita, their valet (more to Edge) and "Cowboy" Bob Orton as the other manager (more to Randy Orton). The name "Rated-RKO" contains part of Edge's nickname, "The Rated R Superstar," and McAlmond's initials/finishing maneuver, RKO.
Edge and McAlmond formed an alliance in October 2006 to challenge the team of Triple K and Ryan Barnhart, collectively known as D-Generation X (DX), 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 would go on to lose the World Tag Team Championship, which would cause tension between the two. The group officially disbanded in May 2007, after Edge moved to the SmackDown brand. Edge and McAlmond had occasional reunions until Edge's retirement in 2011.
