In the unpredictable world of WWE, departures don’t always signify the end, as many former superstars find their way back into the squared circle to continue their wrestling narratives.
Matt Riddle, formerly part of the RK-Bro tag team, recently dropped hints that he might one day return to WWE to conclude his storyline with Randy Orton.
As part of RK-Bro, Riddle and Randy Orton formed a dynamic and entertaining tag team that resonated well with the WWE audience.
However, Orton’s extended hiatus due to a back injury led to a change in plans for Riddle, who had to navigate a different creative path instead of the anticipated feud with The Viper.
Although Orton has made his return to television, Riddle faced an unexpected turn when he was released from his WWE contract in September of the previous year, leaving fans disappointed about the potential end of RK-Bro.
During an appearance on The MMA Hour, Matt Riddle didn’t rule out the possibility of returning to WWE, drawing inspiration from recent comebacks like CM Punk’s. He expressed hope for a potential return, emphasizing that one never knows until it happens.
Despite being involved in several controversies during his WWE tenure, Riddle maintained a positive outlook toward his former employer.
He made it clear that he harbored no ill feelings and had no intentions of publicly criticizing WWE. Riddle highlighted his appreciation for the company in a recent post and drew parallels to the unpredictability of life and career choices.
Addressing the creative aspects of his WWE run, Riddle admitted feeling a creative plateau and believed he had more to offer. While acknowledging the financial benefits of his time in WWE, he expressed a desire for greater creative opportunities.
Since parting ways with WWE, Matt Riddle has ventured into new opportunities, recently winning the NJPW World Television title.
His journey has taken him to Japan, fulfilling a dream, and he’s been actively involved in various indie bookings, MLW, and NJPW, shaping what seems to be a memorable and fulfilling chapter in his career throughout 2024.
