#3 Randy Orton snapped against two of his partners on WWE RAW

One of the most intriguing dynamics in WWE is the idea of a team-up between a heel and a babyface. On WWE RAW, Riddle's jovial antics serve as an engaging contrast to Randy Orton's sinister tendencies. While Riddle's presence diluted Orton's viciousness for a short period, the latter's heelish roots resurfaced during this week's show.

Orton's character pretty much dislikes being surrounded by Riddle's enthusiasm. So it probably wasn't an enjoyable ride for Orton when he also had to team up with the one tag team that is all about the power of positivity — The New Day (Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods).

This week, Riddle, Orton, and The New Day fought Elias, Jaxson Ryker, and RAW Tag Team Champions AJ Styles and Omos.

While The Viper eventually picked up the win for his team with an RKO, he wasn't in a celebratory mood after the match. Unfortunately for The New Day, they suffered the brunt of Orton's wrath via consecutive RKOs.

Randy Orton left Riddle unharmed in the ring, so it's safe to assume that the entertaining saga of R-K-Bro is far from over.
