WWE RAW: 2 Superstars who flopped and 4 who impressed – Surprise proposal for 22-time Champion, new tag team in the making, top superstar makes big mistake? (June 7th, 2021)

#4 Impressed on WWE RAW: Riddle

Despite his huge mistake, Riddle was impressive on WWE RAW

Riddle has emerged as one of the most impressive superstars on WWE RAW once again. He worked well in sync with Randy Orton as R-K-Bro put on a dominant display during the Tag Team Battle Royal. Riddle even attacked Kingston despite being eliminated and showed glimpses of The Viper’s character throughout his in-ring presence. Unfortunately, the same would prove costly for him later in the night.

Riddle once again met Kingston inside the squared circle for a singles match. He looked resilient as ever in the ring, and his determination to keep fighting shocked the New Day member. Riddle also showed a more aggressive side. However, his bid to mimic Orton too much led to him losing the match when Kingston skilfully escaped from an RKO and hit back with a picture-perfect Trouble in Paradise to seal his victory on WWE RAW.

The result certainly irked Randy Orton, who was advising Riddle to capitalize when he had the momentum. It would be interesting to see how this will affect the equation between the two superstars as R-K-Bro seeks to climb higher in the WWE RAW Tag Team division. Orton and Riddle also need to prepare for an impending feud with The New Day.
