Matt Riddle and Randy Orton at SummerSlam (WWE)
Matt Riddle has further praise for ‘coolest bro’ Randy Orton
Matt Riddle has been a fan-favourite ever since he joined WWE in 2018 and his bonding with Randy Orton is most talked about by WWE fans worldwide.
The former MMA fighter has made a seamless transition to professional wrestling as critics and fans have lauded his matches inside the ring.
The wrestler on Wednesday night was all praise for his tag team partner Randy Orton once again. The 35-year-old wrestler took Twitter to admire Orton. The US wrestler wrote:
“Get somebody that looks at you like Randy looks at me bro, it’s the best and Randy is the coolest bro ever!!!
“#rkbro #stallion #wweraw #bro #rko #wwetagteamchampions”
Riddle is known for his laidback persona and his catchword ‘Bro’ is a massive hit among the fans and his relation with Orton is one which is talked about a lot among the WWE fans a lot.
Riddle and WWE Champion Randy Orton are tag team pairs and fans love to call them as Rated-RKO. However, back in August we saw that Riddle was not spared of RKO as well. Riddle experienced that first-hand on a Monday Night Raw.
Riddle also defeated Orton in a singles match on RAW in April, leading to the formation of RK-Bro. But their bonding has changed since then and it has become stronger and stronger. Orton talking to Sportskeeda explained how he changed his mind about Riddle after initially disliking him in real life.
“Once I was around him for a little while, I got to like the guy.”
“We have a lot more in common than I thought we would. I definitely respect him and his attributes, but the attitude initially I wasn’t a big fan of. Now it’s almost endearing.”
Riddle was also not shy to talk publicly about the bond the duo shares. Talking to the same website Riddle revealed that both of them get along well in real life despite having contrasting characters in the ring.
“On camera we are completely opposite people, you know, because he’s very serious.”
“He lights people on fire, I ride a scooter and kick my flip flops off. We’re two different people on camera but off camera in the locker room we really connect, we’re cool, we get it.”
