Last night's episode of RAW saw Riddle beat Xavier Woods in Singles action after hitting him with the RKO. Immediately after the match, Riddle did Randy Orton's patented pose, looked into the camera, and dedicated his win to his tag team partner, "The Apex Predator" Randy Orton.
After RAW went off the air, Riddle made an appearance on RAW Talk, where he revealed he wanted to get redemption for Randy Orton after The Viper lost to New Day member Kofi Kingston last week on RAW.
Riddle said, “I wanted to get redemption for Randy.” “I knew he was busy tonight, I heard he was watching Operation Dumbo Drop and eating some munchies. He knows how to take care of his body.”
Riddle then revealed the text message he got from Orton after he hit the RKO.
Riddle said, “Randy was like, ‘I saw that, bro.'”
Riddle was then asked if Orton actually called him bro, to which Riddle said, “If you know Randy like I do, there’s always a pause between his texts. I know he called me bro in his own subtle way.”
Riddle was then asked if he got permission from Orton to use the RKO, to which Riddle responded, “No, I didn’t [laughs]. If I made the move look bad, he’d have been pissed. But I made the move look sweet and got the win over a great superstar.”
Riddle then revealed that last night's RAW was the first time he hit the RKO.
Riddle said, “That was the first time I ever hit an RKO, and it was one of the greatest feelings of my life. It was exhilarating.” “If you asked me 10 years ago if I could see myself hitting an RKO on RAW, I would have said, ‘no way, bro.'”
Riddle then ended the interview by calling out the RAW Tag Team Champions AJ Styles and Omos.
Riddle said, “What do I see in the future for R-K-Bro? We’re going up and up. We’re coming for the championships. AJ and Omos, watch out bros.”
