Randy Orton credited Matt Riddle for saving his WWE career

While appearing on current United States Champion Logan Paul's ImPaulsive podcast, Randy Orton gave Riddle his flowers. He revealed that the latter kept him active in the ring despite dealing with injuries.

As it turns out, The Viper could have taken a hiatus long before he did ultimately in May 2022.

"Last year, before I had to leave because of the back, I was in a tag team with former WWE Superstar Matt Riddle. And I've got to give him props, because that year we tagged together, I was not able to be in that ring unless I was in there with someone like him. Because he was able to take the brunt of the physicality, he'd tag me at the end, I'd come in and do my s***, if it wasn't for him I wouldn't have made it that far," he said.

Randy Orton has given props to Riddle many times prior to this. The two held the RAW Tag Team Championship twice during their time together as RK-Bro in the tag team division. They even tagged at WrestleMania 38 in a winning effort against Alpha Academy and Street Profits.
