Riddle On Getting Laughed At When He Pitched RK-Bro

Randy Orton and Matt Riddle seem to be an unlikely duo, but they’ve achieved major success since they started teaming up months ago. Together Orton and Riddle have managed to capture the Raw Tag Team Titles, and their momentum shows no signs of slowing down.

At one point RK-Bro was just an idea in Riddle’s head, and during a recent appearance on Cheap Heat with Peter Rosenberg the current Raw Tag Team Champion noted that he was laughed at when he first pitched the idea.

“I don’t know if this exact thing was on the docket on the list of things to do, but it was definitely an idea I’ve had in the back of my head for a very long time. When I saw an opportunity to make ‘RK-Bro’, because I mentioned it probably a month or so before it actually happened. I mentioned it to some of the writers, some the boys in the back, and they all proceeded to laugh at me when I said, ‘How cool would RK-Bro be?’ I try to talk to the writing team, I try to talk to all the camera crew.

“I try to talk to everybody and have fun with everybody, and I’ve noticed by doing that, my co-workers learn my mannerisms. They learn how I talk my, my dialect, I guess, and they can do things easier for me or more better for me. I think that’s really it. RK-Bro, I brought it up, wishful thinking. It kind of got laughed at, and I was like, ‘Oh, that’ll never happen.’ And then a couple weeks later, Randy didn’t have an opponent. I didn’t have an opponent, and we made it happen. And since we worked together that first time, we’ve been inseparable since.”
