Orton had suffered a back injury in the month of May, and his last match was against the Usos on an edition of SmackDown, wherein him and Riddle lost the RAW Tag Team Championship.
The RK-Bro have been two-time tag team champions, and fans absolutely loved the chemistry between Matt Riddle and Randy Orton of them. The WWE Universe surely wants to see more of Randy Orton, and hope they will get to see it.
Recently, WrestleVotes gave an interview with GiveMeSport, in which they mentioned that Randy Orton would have turned on Matt Riddle soon after his comeback from injury. This would have been Randy Orton turning heel again.
“When Randy Orton went down, the plan was for him to come back and immediately turn on Matt Riddle.”
WWE’s original plans were also that Randy Orton would have challenged Roman Reigns for the Undisputed Universal Championship match at SummerSlam, but plans were changed as soon as he got injured, and WWE replaced him with Brock Lesnar.
