Randy Orton carried his WrestleMania win-loss record to 11-6 following his mega win over The Fiend Bray Wyatt at the Show of Shows, this year. He is in the 40s, now who re-signed a WWE deal, ensuring he won’t be going anywhere else from the company. That being said, several newer records will be waiting for him with one of them already achieved on Raw.
On this week’s episode of RAW, Randy Orton teamed up with Riddle for a second week in a row. The team being dubbed as RK-Bro went on to defeat the team of Elias and Jaxson Ryker.

Since Randy Orton is very much active on Raw, it’s safe to say that Randy Orton will break Kane’s record later this year or next year. For the time being, he may just continue to work with the former United States Champion in this brand new tag team just to elevate the newbie’s status. Apparently, he was the one who wanted to work with Riddle in a program.
Randy Orton wanted a program with Riddle
WWE had plans to drag the feud between Riddle and Sheamus following WrestleMania 37. But those plans were thrown out of the window right around the next night. Riddle received a singles contest against Randy Orton and he eventually secured an upset win over the Apex Predator of the WWE. Afterward, the two went ahead to form a tag team.
According to Fightful Select, The Viper was in favor of this program which helped the creative team to push it forward.
“Those backstage in WWE said Orton was in favor of working with Riddle, and the changes made.”
Ringside News previously reported that Randy Orton has a certain amount of pull, backstage. Obviously, this wish paid off well for Riddle as he got the chance to work with the future Hall of Famer. We will have to see how WWE intends to book the feud in the future.
