Bill Apter picked former WWE RAW Tag Team Champions RK-Bro as the team of the year in the inaugural edition of the Sportskeeda Wrestling Awards.
Randy Orton & Riddle joined forces in the summer of 2021 when the latter interrupted Orton's backstage interview, suggesting a tag team formation. The duo has been part of one of the most entertaining segments on the red brand for over a year, winning tag team gold in the process.
Bill is part of an elite panel for the Sportskeeda Wrestling Awards and, among other categories, made his selection for Tag Team of the Year from the below nominees:
- RK-Bro from WWE
- Good Brothers from IMPACT Wrestling
- The New Day from WWE
- Lucha Bros from AEW
- The Usos from WWE
Speaking to Riju Dasgupta of Sportskeeda Wrestling, the NWA Hall of Famer revealed he never expected RK-Bro to get along while saying they have the perfect combination of talent:
"It's a hard choice. There are so many great teams, but the unlikely team of Randy Orton and Matt Riddle, who I never thought would get along together, will get my vote. They have the perfect combination of talent within that team. And yeah, I think they were the best tag team in that particular group." [7:47 to 8:34]

They went on to hold the title for 142 days, defeating the likes of Bobby Lashley & MVP of The Hurt Business and The Usos before losing it to Alpha Academy last month.
