A very emotional and distraught Riddle started out Monday Night Raw this week and not only questioned the future of RK-Bro as a tag team, but the future of Randy Orton in WWE. Saying he loved the Viper, Riddle vowed to do whatever he could to get back at The Bloodline.
RK-Bro lost their unification tag team title match at Friday's SmackDown. Both men were beaten down by The Bloodline after the match and there are rumors that Riddle is set to be one of Roman Reigns' next challengers in a single's capacity. The timing of that news and the opening of Raw tonight suggests these reports may be accurate.
Riddle opened the show without Orton by his side. Saying that Randy has had a rough go of things the last few months, he said Orton could barely walk as the team was getting ready for their match this past Friday. Riddle said Orton was having the time of his life as a part of the team, but he was in a lot of pain and fighting through it because he knew how much RK-Brok holding the titles meant to both Riddle and the WWE Universe.
From there Riddle said that he had to be honest and tell the fans that he wasn't sure what the future holds for the team. In fact, he wasn't sure what Orton's status in WWE was. He seemed to hint that Orton may be done and vowed on his career that he would get revenge.
Is This Just A Storyline?
Fans should assume that this is just a work, but it could also suggest that Orton is going to take some time off. Riddle might make a go of things without his partner and he teamed with The Street Profits on Monday to take on Sami Zayn and The Usos. The question fans will ask is how long Orton will be out of action?
