Riddle has been feuding with The Hurt Business in recent weeks, and he finally faced WWE United States Champion Bobby Lashley on the first WWE RAW of 2021. Both powerhouses exchanged hard-hitting offense, and Riddle used his agility to counter Lashley’s power. “The Original Bro” tapped to the Hurt Lock, but the referee didn’t see it. MVP got onto the apron to plead Lashley’s case, and Riddle capitalized by rolling Lashley up for the surprising win.

Randy Orton Enters Royal Rumble
Randy Orton recently made headlines when he burned The Fiend alive at WWE TLC. He opted not to set Alexa Bliss on fire last week, and now “The Viper” is shifting his focus to the first pay-per-view of the year. This week on WWE RAW, during a confrontation with Mark Henry, Orton revealed that he will compete in the Men’s Royal Rumble Match. Orton won the Royal Rumble Match in 2009, and he repeated this success in 2017.
