Word on the street is Randy Orton and Riddle are facing each other at WrestleMania. The two were also rumored to have a program at the 2021 SummerSlam, but it didn't take place.
Riddle and Orton formed a tag team in April 2021 and have since been the highlight of RAW, quickly becoming fan favorites and winning the RAW Tag Team Championships.
The WWE Universe latched onto the unlikely duo due to Riddle's gibberish talk and Orton's forbearance towards him. They recently lost their titles to the Alpha Academy, sparking rumors of a breakup and possible feud.
The Original Bro earned his spot in the Elimination Chamber match after defeating Otis. The Viper inserting himself into the match could have been a creative lightning strike and just the kind of platform needed for the two to build to a match at WrestleMania.
