#1. Randy Orton says he is lucky to have Riddle as his current tag team partner in WWE

Over the last several months, Randy Orton and Riddle's alliance on WWE television has undoubtedly become a fan-favorite act.

The Viper recently spoke to Ariel Helwani of BT Sport; as seen in the clip above, he praised his tag team partner. Orton stated that Riddle is "a lot smarter than he lets on," both on and off the screen:

"When I'm out there in the ring and the red light is on, I'm feeling his energy and the people are feeling it and it's a weird thing he's got," said Orton. "He's got something special. He's a lot smarter than he lets on, on TV, in real life. He's a sharp dude." (3:00-3:20).

It's no secret that the 14-time world champion has been more successful as a villain throughout his career. However, the veteran believes his current babyface run is a lot of fun, thanks to his association with Riddle.

"He's lucky to have me there, right? I'm giving him the rub," Orton continued. "I think I'm more lucky to have Riddle with me because of why you're asking me that question: 'You're having a lot of fun out there, I see you smiling, I see you having a good time in this babyface run.' I think that is directly related to him." (3:21-3:44)

RK-Bro has already had a tag team championship run on RAW. And while the two stars will most likely split down the road, the intriguing question is when exactly that happens in WWE.
