The recent episode of RAW saw a new tag team form. Matt Riddle challenged the Viking Raiders and asked Drew McIntyre to team up with him. Initially, the latter looked hesitant but he ended up accepting Riddle’s invitation and defeated their opponents.

Fans have compared the new bromance with Riddle’s previous one with Randy Orton. RK-Bro was a popular faction before the Viper was unfortunately sidelined with an injury. Ringside News reported on the entire angle and has confirmed with sources that the new tag team won’t be going in the direction of RK-Bro.

Instead, backstage officials are waiting for the return of the former world champion. Furthermore, they revealed his return will happen near the end of the year. Therefore, it will be interesting to see how things play out between Drew McIntyre and Matt Riddle until that happens.
