Riddle recently spoke with the folks from Talk Sport for an in-depth interview covering all things pro wrestling.
During the discussion, the WWE Superstar spoke about being paired with Randy Orton, the formation of RKBro and more.
Featured below are some of the highlights from the interview.
On Randy Orton being amazing: “Randy is amazing. He’s awesome. I love that guy, I love that man of mine, Randy Orton [laughs]. I mentioned probably around WrestleMania time and I was like ‘hey, how good would it be if Randy and I tagged up, partnered up and were RKBro?’”
On Orton liking the idea of being paired with Riddle and how he helped pitch the idea to WWE creative: “He was like ‘Hey, this RKBro thing you mentioned, it actually sounds pretty cool. And I was like [speechless expression]. Nobody else thought it was cool, the only people who really thought it was cool was Randy and me. So then we pitched it and I don’t think it was supposed to have legs or last that long, but kind of like with me and Pete Dunne as the Broserweights, people saw our chemistry together in backstage segments, they know we can both go in the ring for days and here we are.”
On everyone backstage enjoying their segments: “Vince [McMahon] loves it. “Bruce [Prichard] loves it. Everybody at the office loves it. The boys love it. They love it so much, they’re starting to hate it [laughs]. That’s how much they love it. It was a team that nobody knew they wanted and now they need it.”
