“@RandyOrton should’ve won,” wrote Riddle.

Matt Riddle on his relationship with Randy Orton

Matt Riddle opened up about his relationship with Randy Orton years after departing WWE. Speaking on TMZ Sports, Riddle was asked if he was still friends with The Viper.

The former WWE star said that he received a text from Orton the other day, and they discussed Riddle’s OF account. He said:

“You know, Randy [Orton] hit me up just the other day. I posted something pushing my OF account… I make a lot of money with that. He wrote to me, ‘You crazy son of a bi**h.’ I go, ‘Randy, I’m not gonna lie, the money is real.’ He goes, ‘It’s probably better on the body too,’ and I go, ‘Sure is,'”

Randy Orton was accompanied at WrestleMania 42 by Pat McAfee, who claimed that The Viper would save the business. However, that wasn’t the case, and instead, we got Orton hitting McAfee with an RKO.

The Viper also brought back the Punt Kick by the end of Night 1. He hit Rhodes with the devastating move and stood tall over The American Nightmare to end the show. The feud between Orton and Rhodes seems far from over, considering that the champion is now left with a black eye, courtesy of The Viper. Orton is also not done chasing World Title #15 and could once again challenge for the title down the road.
