WWE Superstar caught unawares, breaks character backstage during RAW

WWE RAW this week was a major talking point, coming as it did on the back of an emotional weekend. The show was also the go-home episode for the upcoming enormous event this coming Saturday, WWE Payback.

However, during RAW, there was a moment when a star could not avoid breaking character. Drew McIntyre was seen laughing during his conversation with Matt Riddle.

Drew McIntyre and Matt Riddle have been working together over the last few weeks. Riddle is a strong supporter of the idea of a tag team between them, and McIntyre has apparently been tolerating the star. They have largely been successful together, with the exception of the match where The New Day defeated them thanks to interference from The Viking Raiders.

Backstage during RAW, Riddle approached Drew McIntyre, who was looking unhappy with the gear change idea that had been suggested for for him. Riddle had photoshopped his own gear on McIntyre, who didn't look too keen on making the team official.

When he asked Riddle to hold on before making such changes, Riddle then said McIntyre probably wanted matching kilts. The star was caught unawares by the comment and ended up snorting in laughter before turning away. He then visibly gathered himself to turn back to Riddle, serious once again.

Even if the comment had been a joke, McIntyre quite clearly broke character there, seemingly not ready for the kilt comment from his erstwhile tag team partner.

It remains to be seen where this team goes on WWE RAW. But for the moment, it appears that much like RK-bro, Riddle is slowly winning over his much more serious partner.
