Randy Orton talked about teaming up with Matt Riddle in WWE

During a 2023 edition of Logan Paul's IMPAULSIVE podcast, Randy Orton revealed that before he had to go on a hiatus due to his back injury, Matt Riddle helped him a lot during their Tag Team matches.

The Viper said that Riddle used to take all the bumps in their matches, which helped Orton continue to wrestle while dealing with back issues.

"Last year, before I had to leave because of the back, I was in a tag team with former WWE Superstar Matt Riddle. And I've got to give him props, because that year we tagged together, I was not able to be in that ring unless I was in there with someone like him. Because he was able to take the brunt of the physicality, he'd tag me at the end, I'd come in and do my s***, if it wasn't for him I wouldn't have made it that far," he said.

Many fans want Matt Riddle to return to the Stamford-based promotion. It will be interesting to see if the star returns to WWE in the future.
