Former WWE star Matt Riddle recently appeared on an episode of the Kurt Angle Show podcast, where he talked about a number of topics including “The Viper” Randy Orton’s return to the company at Survivor Series: WarGames.

Riddle said, โ€œDid it looking like a stallion hit RKOs left and right and moving? Good. Iโ€™m super stoked for Randy coming back and everything like that. And I canโ€™t thank you enough for being my tag team partner. He has really helped me out through a lot of tough times because I was going through a divorce at the time and everything else. And heโ€™s been through a similar situation. And he was just whoโ€™s just a real brother, and especially when youโ€™re on the road, is that like, I can call anybody, I say I can, but itโ€™s not the same, and to have him there and be that supportive, because how Randy can be very supportive to me and, you know, it was nice, Randy has a spot in my heart forever.โ€

He also talked about staying in touch with Orton.

โ€œI do. I talked to Randy before a Smackdown match the other day. Oh, cool. I think he was busy, though. Heโ€™s like, โ€˜Hey, man. Iโ€™ll call you back when Iโ€™m through.โ€™ What have you got, all right? He didnโ€™t call me back, but he picked up. Heโ€™s doing good. Heโ€™s calling the match. Thatโ€™s all. I just wanted to check in.โ€
