The two stars used to be part of a tag team called RK-Bros. They held the World Tag Team Championship twice. The Original Bro was released from the company while The Viper was out of action due to injury.

Randy Orton recently appeared on What’s Your Story? With Steph McMahon, and stated that he was scared to ask the crowd to sing Happy Birthday to his daughter, Brooklyn, on an episode of RAW in 2021. However, Matt Riddle convinced him to do it.

"She’s been to a bunch of events. I brought her into the middle of the ring at Barclays Center it was on her birthday. Her name’s Brooklyn, we’re in Brooklyn, and I had the whole place sing her 'Happy Birthday.' Someone had said, 'Go get the mic and dip, closing the show,' right? And I’m like, 'Not closing the show,' but once we went, I chickened out," said Orton.

He added:

"I was worried it wouldn’t go well or she would get… Matt Riddle is Matt Riddle, but he was like, 'Nah, dude, do it.' And I wouldn’t have if he hadn’t said that. I was like, 'Yeah, f**k, you’re right. How could I miss this opportunity?' So I brought her in the ring. Everyone in the place was amazing and sang at the top of their lungs." [40:50 - 41:50]
