'I don’t know what happened....' - Matt Riddle on how Randy Orton aims to work alongside him

According to some sources, WWE superstar Randy Orton has personally requested from the creative team in the company that he wants to work along with his former tag team partner Matt Riddle in the upcoming fixtures. Notably, Randy Orton and Matt Riddle's pairing has been a great hit with viewers. In addition, the duo also went on to capture the tag team titles on two occasions.

Meanwhile, Randy Orton was ruled out due to an injury back in 2022, and the tag team was then dissolved on a premature basis. However, the Original Bro was not there when Randy Orton returned from injuries back in the Survivor Series 2023. Interestingly, Matt Riddle also shared how Randy Orton was excited to work with him and how The Viper was ecstatic by his work culture after the battle against him. 

“Randy was supposed to wrestle Braun Strowman one night and I was supposed to tag with Drew against Mace and T Bar you know when Retribution was still around. I don’t know what happened but Randy and Braun didn’t end up wrestling and they switched Braun with me. So I got to wrestle Randy instead. After we worked Randy spoke very highly of me," said Riddle.

Everybody knows the reputation of Randy Orton and I think they would have an A-plus match: Rikishi

Meanwhile, Matt Riddle was released from the company in September 2023, just two months before The Viper made his comeback in the Survivor series. However, WWE legend Rikishi Fatu also talks about the World Heavyweight Title at WrestleMania 40. Notably, the legendary player talks about Judgement Day, which went against the opposition, and what he expects from Randy Orton.

"I think Randy Orton. Because I think about number one, what the quality match especially if you're holding the gold, it has to make sense. Everybody knows the reputation of Randy Orton and I think they would have an A-plus match all the time, and to be able to work with Randy can only bring the best out of Damian," said Rikishi.
