Former WWE star reveals he wants to reunite with Randy Orton
Matt Riddle recently disclosed that he would like to reunite with Randy Orton if he were to ever be rehired by WWE.
The Original Bro was released by the company in September 2023. He was once part of a popular tag team with Randy Orton known as RK-Bro, and the duo captured the RAW Tag Team Championship twice during their time together.
In an exclusive interview with Sportskeeda Wrestling's Bill Apter and Dr. Chris Featherstone earlier this year, Riddle shared that he would want to reunite with his former tag team partner if he got the opportunity to return to the company. The 38-year-old added that he would want to give Orton's back a rest, as the veteran missed over a year of action due to injury before his return at Survivor Series 2023.
"If I went back tomorrow I'd wanna reconnect RK-Bro up, give Randy's back a little break, you know?" Riddle said. "Oh, dude, his nutritionist, what a guy! What a guy! Randy's nutritionist, this goes off to you!" [5:37 – 5:53]
