The WWE Creative Team Initially Laughed At Matt Riddle’s Idea Of Teaming With Randy Orton As RK-Bro

Former WWE star Matt Riddle recently appeared as a guest on the Johnny I Pro Show for an in-depth interview covering all things pro wrestling. During the discussion, Riddle reflected on his RK-Bro tag team with Randy Orton:

โ€œRandy 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 donโ€™t know what happened but Randy and Braun didnโ€™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. Heโ€™s like โ€˜I want to do something else with himโ€™ and they already had plans that we tag.โ€

โ€œWeeks before this I suggested we tag as RK Bro and the writing team just kinda laughed at me. Which most of my ideas they laugh and then like 2 weeks later theyโ€™ll be like โ€˜Hey I think we gotta do thisโ€™ and Iโ€™m like โ€˜Sounds awesome.โ€™ I donโ€™t even bring it up to them.โ€
