Randy Orton and Riddle are back on the same page and they’ve been booked for the RAW Tag Team Championship match at WWE SummerSlam 2021. The duo will challenge AJ Styles and Omos for the titles, this Saturday night as the match for the PPV has now been made, official.
During this week’s SummerSlam go-home edition of RAW, AJ defeated Riddle in a singles contest. Then Orton later defeated Omos by DQ due to interference by AJ. Orton was then double-teamed by Styles and Omos until Riddle made the save.
Orton then declared that Riddle has earned his respect, and team RK-Bro is back, together. They hugged as fans cheered them on. Riddle then announced that they would be challenging AJ and Omos at WWE SummerSlam 2021, a match that was later confirmed by the RAW announcers.

At WWE SummerSlam Drew McIntyre will compete against Jinder Mahal in a singles contest. In that match, Mahal’s goons Veer and Shanky will be banned from ringside. Over on Raw, the show featured a 2-on-1 Handicap Match with McIntyre competing against Veer and Shanky.
Per the stipulations, Drew would’ve been banned from bringing his sword to the ring at WWE SummerSlam 2021 if he lost the Handicap Match. But he won and hence Veer and Shanky are now banned from being at ringside for Mahal.

Eva Marie vs. Alexa Bliss has also been made official for WWE SummerSlam 2021. Marie and Doudrop have been feuding with Bliss, and Lilly, for a few weeks. This week, a segment aired where Doudrop apologized to Eva and blamed her loss from last week on Lilly.
Eva then sent Doudrop to steal Lilly from Bliss in a backstage segment. Doudrop went to Alexa’s Playground and did so only to hand her back to Bliss. Bliss laughed while Doudrop walked off. Eva then claimed to take care of the Bliss’ problem at SummerSlam, while Bliss has promised to put an end to the Eva-Lution at the upcoming show.
