Matt Riddle misses not having Randy Orton in his corner

Matt Riddle and Randy Orton had a great run as a tag team. The duo won the RAW Tag Team Championship on multiple occasions. However, their title reign was put to an end by The Usos on the May 20, 2022, episode of SmackDown.

On WWE’s The Bump, Riddle lamented that he doesn’t have anyone, especially Randy Orton, to depend on during his matches.

“I’ll be honest, as a guy kinda on his own, especially with Randy [Orton] gone a bit and Drew [McIntyre] is always doing something, all these factions have people to depend on. If they’re down, they have someone to live them up, and right now I really don’t have that and it’s a little unfortunate.” [H/T WrestlingInc]

It remains to be seen if RK-Bro will unite after Orton’s highly anticipated return to WWE.
