WWE backstage news on the future of R-K-Bro - Reports
If you're a fan of Randy Orton and Riddle as R-K-Bro, we've got good news. It doesn't sound like the team is going away anytime soon.
The WWE Universe has fallen in love with R-K-Bro over the past couple of weeks, and many have called it the highlight of WWE RAW. Meanwhile, many others are waiting for Orton to hit Riddle with the RKO and split the team before it gains any momentum.
But according to Mike Johnson of PWInsider, the tag team isn't scheduled to be a short-term storyline as WWE plans to give R-K-Bro a "sizable push" going forward. It was also reported that R-K-Bro merchandise is already in production and will be on sale soon.
R-K-Bro isn't going anywhere on WWE RAW
The potential for the R-K-Bro tag team on WWE RAW right now is unlimited. Just three weeks into this story, it's already the best thing on the show every Monday night.
With the right build, Orton and Riddle could find themselves challenging for the RAW Tag Team Championships against AJ Styles and Omos. With the tag champs seemingly done with The New Day, a new storyline needs to emerge for Styles and Omos sooner rather than later.
This is a far cry from original plans just a few weeks ago in which Riddle was scheduled to continue his feud with Sheamus post-WrestleMania over the United States Championship. Randy Orton was pretty much directionless after his feud with The Fiend and was scheduled to face Braun Strowman before the match was changed to face Riddle instead.
Sometimes when plans change, they benefit everyone. And it could be said right now that R-K-Bro are reaping the benefits.
