During a recent “Signed by Superstars” virtual signing, former WWE Superstar Matt Riddle expressed his desire to return to WWE and finish his story with his former RK-Bro partner Randy Orton.
Riddle was released from his WWE contract in September 2023.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On his relationship with Orton before they started working together: “Me and Randy, before this, me and Randy didn’t really talk. I guess Randy didn’t like me when I first started working there just because I am who I am. But then Randy comes up to me [after Riddle interrupted Asuka’s promo] and he goes, ‘I don’t know if that was planned, but that’s your best promo yet, kid,’ and walks away. I felt actually better. I was like, ‘Oh, I mean, Randy thought it was cool [so it’s okay].’”
On how he got along with other talent backstage: “I was very comfortable but I noticed with some of the older guys or people that have been there longer, like certain things rub them the wrong way. I think Randy didn’t like me … first time we met, I didn’t want to bother him and he’s going up to everybody [and shaking their hands] I had my headphones on, I was chilling and I didn’t go up and say hi to him. And I remember Randy going, ‘I’m going to figure out a way to get this guy fired.’ And I was like, ‘You said that, dude?’ And he’s like, ‘Yeah, but you’re cool now.’”
On a potential WWE return: “Well, that’s up to them. I mean it’s their, company it’s their business, if they want to [I’ll return]. Maybe, I’ll say right now I probably won’t go back this second because there’s a lot of things I want to do. There’s a lot of things I wanted to do before I got to WWE and I didn’t. I feel like if one door closes another opens. The door that’s open now allows me to do those things.”
On what he would want to do if he returned: “If I were to come back I’d really like to finish the story with Randy. The other thing too even with Pete Dunne it was unfortunate because COVID happened. I never got to finish the story with The BroserWeights.”

Before Riddle and Orton started working together, they didn’t have much of a relationship. In fact, Riddle revealed that Orton didn’t like him when he first joined WWE because of his personality.

Orton responded by saying, “I’m going to figure out a way to get this guy fired.” However, their relationship improved over time, and Orton now considers Riddle cool.
