WWE News Roundup: Reason why AJ Styles is missing on RAW, 14-time World Champion tried to ‘ruin’ The Rock, Randy Orton’s backstage reaction to new tag team (April 28th, 2021)

#3 Randy Orton’s backstage reaction to teaming up with Riddle on WWE RAW

Randy Orton welcomed the idea of working with Riddle

The latest episode of WWE RAW saw Randy Orton entering an interesting new chapter on the brand. He formed an alliance with Riddle that led to the creation of a new tag team, R-K-Bro. Orton stated that Riddle earned his respect during their match, and he is happy to work alongside The Original Bro. Backstage reports claim that The Viper was genuinely in favor of this idea.

“That site [Fightful] also says the plan after WrestleMania 37 was for Riddle’s program with Sheamus to continue. Obviously, plans changed. 'Those backstage in WWE said Orton was in favor of working with Riddle, and the changes made.' Moving Riddle into the angle with Orton, and the Drew McIntyre & Braun Strowman vs. MACE & T-BAR storyline were both decisions that were made last Monday hours before the show started.”

This tag team looks quite promising on WWE RAW. Randy Orton’s interactions with Riddle were hilarious and accounted for the very few entertaining segments we saw in an otherwise disappointing episode. It will be interesting to see what’s in store for Orton and Riddle in the coming weeks.
