Riddle lost the US Championship to Sheamus at WrestleMania 37. He then lost to WWE Champion Bobby Lashley on the RAW after WrestleMania. It was being speculated that Riddle’s push was set to end, but ‘The Viper’ Randy Orton has come to The Original Bro’s rescue.
As per Fightful (via Cagesideseats), Orton was in favor of working with Riddle when he was presented with the idea. It is being stated that the original plan was for Riddle to continue his program with Sheamus after WrestleMania 37 but plans were changed later.
It is also stated that Riddle’s program with Orton and McIntyre’s team-up with Braun Strowman were both last-minute calls made by WWE.
What’s next for Randy Orton and Riddle?
It remains to be seen if the newly formed tag team between the two unlikely partners will flourish or not. Many fans have been equating their dynamic to Kane and Daniel Bryan’s run as Team Hell No.
However, there is also a strong chance that The Viper is just biding time and waiting for the perfect time to turn on Riddle. Either way, Randy Orton wanting to work with Riddle is a vote of confidence for the former NXT Superstar.
