A former WWE star, Matt Riddle, recently shared how Randy Orton personally requested to team up with him, leading to the formation of the popular duo RK-Bro. Their partnership brought a lighter and more comedic side of Randy Orton to the forefront, a departure from his usual intense demeanor. The pair even clinched the Tag Team Title twice, delighting fans with their chemistry and in-ring performances.
However, their partnership was cut short when Randy Orton suffered a severe injury in May 2022, forcing the dissolution of RK-Bro prematurely. By the time Orton returned to action at Survivor Series 2023, Matt Riddle had already departed from WWE, leaving fans wondering about the future of the once-beloved tag team.
In an interview on the Johnny I Pro Show, Riddle disclosed Orton’s admiration for his work ethic following a match they had together. Orton was so impressed that he expressed a desire to continue working alongside Riddle, leading to the formation of RK-Bro. The chemistry between the two superstars was evident, resonating well with the audience and creating memorable moments in the ring.
