Inside the Evolution of One of WWE’s Most Memorable Tag Teams


Summary

– Matt Riddle opens up about his WWE journey, particularly his partnership with Randy Orton as RK-Bro.

– Initially planned for a storyline where Orton would turn on Riddle, the duo’s chemistry led to a change in direction, with Riddle gaining heat by temporarily sidelining Orton.

– Despite initial reservations from Orton and some rocky moments, Riddle and Orton developed a strong bond during their tag team run.

In a revealing interview on “The MMA Hour” with Ariel Helwani, Matt Riddle delved into the intricacies of his partnership with Randy Orton, famously known as RK-Bro, shedding light on the evolution of their dynamic.

Riddle recounted how their alliance began after a singles match on “WWE Raw” in April 2021, which organically transitioned into a successful tag team partnership. Despite initial plans for Orton to turn on him, Riddle pitched an alternative idea where he would gain heat by temporarily taking Orton out of action, a concept that resonated with both wrestlers.

However, unforeseen circumstances altered their trajectory, as Orton sustained an injury, and Riddle was released from WWE before his return. Despite these setbacks, Riddle and Orton maintained communication, with Orton gradually warming up to Riddle over time despite initial reservations.

Riddle candidly recalled instances where he unintentionally rubbed Orton incorrectly, such as failing to shake his hand in the locker room. Yet, as their partnership blossomed, Riddle’s generous nature and their shared success as RK-Bro forged a strong bond between them.
