Randy Orton and Matt Riddle formed a tag team, which was referred to as ‘RK-Bro’ and culminated in a Tag Team Championship match. However, due to Orton’s suffering from an injury, he has not competed since 2022. Riddle, however, has been gaining momentum since joining forces with Drew McIntyre. Recent reports indicate that the WWE has announced the release of Matt Riddle.
Drew McIntyre and Randy Orton are not unknown, as both have had a spectacular feud for the WWE Championship in 2020. The two talents traded the championship back and forth and had several memorable confrontations. The battle was critical to establishing The Scottish Warrior as a top babyface in the Stamford-based promotion.
Drew McIntyre just disclosed his intention to clash with Randy Orton once that man has fully recovered from his injury. As of the latest, Drew McIntyre expressed his desire to engage in a feud with The Viper, and he said, “Oh, yeah, if it makes sense, 100%. If Randy Orton returns, it’s gonna be such a huge moment”.

Scottish Warrior highlights Randy Orton’s return to the ring would be a momentous occasion for the wrestling industry, as he has been absent for an extended period of time. Speculation has been rife as to the nature of his condition and the potential for a career-ending injury.

Contention between Drew McIntyre and Randy Orton
During Drew McIntyre’s initial tenure in the professional wrestling industry, he and Randy Orton had a number of singles and team matches, however, they did not form a cohesive storyline. This changed in 2020 when Orton and McIntyre competed for the vacant championship, which had been won by the latter at the previous year’s edition of Hell in a Cell.
Randy Orton and Drew McIntyre, the reigning champions of the WWE, feuded for a prolonged period of time spanning the entirety of 2020, including five singles matches, three triple-threats, and two six-man tag team matches spanning multiple PPVs and television appearances over a period of several months.
Additionally, the protracted rivalry is referred to as the ‘Best Rivalry of 2020’. The rivalry eventually concluded when they entered into a clash with other wrestlers. It is still to be seen if Randy Orton made his appearance in the WWE and who would be his opponent.
