WWE RAW: 6 reasons why R-K-Bro are an instant hit – Big reality check for the roster, fans finally get what they want?

#6 The unique pairing on WWE RAW and its future

WWE RAW, and almost the entire promotion, rarely experiments with unusual pairings anymore. Most of the time, the teams are built with similar superstars, and understandably, it makes it easier for them to work together. However, every once in a while, fans like to see surprise pairings such as Randy Orton and Riddle coming together to form R-K-Bro.

True to his Viper persona, Orton believes himself to be high and might, and Riddle likes to be high. The former prefers to dominate his opponents using countless holds in his attempt to drain them out. On the other hand, Riddle uses fast-paced action for most of his battle.

But both have a tremendous grip over keeping the fight on the mat, and that ideology helps them create creative maneuvers. As R-K-Bro starts competing in more matches on WWE RAW, these differences will become more evident.

Riddle’s humor also works well in contrast with Orton’s seriousness. He is even learning a thing or two from his tag team partner. Riddle recently used an RKO to win his match on WWE RAW, and Orton borrowed his Bro Kick for his victory.

Both these superstars can create an epic team on the Red brand, and they will deliver an even better rivalry when one eventually betrays another. R-K-Bro has a lot of potential, and hopefully, WWE will make the most of it before dissolving this team.
