5 Reasons why Randy Orton turned face and formed a Tag Team with Riddle on RAW

#4. Randy Orton and Riddle will fill the big Tag Team gap

One of the big problems with the RAW Tag Team division is the lack of teams competing, and Randy Orton might just be added to the mix. On SmackDown, there are four teams constantly competing against each other in the race for Tag Team gold, but RAW seems a bit more desolate.

Even the new RAW Tag Team Champions AJ Styles and Omos haven't been seen since WrestleMania 37. Orton and Riddle may have been paired up to help elevate the Tag Team division.

#3. To help elevate Riddle

A fun backstage interview

It's possible that Randy Orton personally requested WWE to work with Riddle, and this is the direction that we're going in. Despite The Original Bro losing at WrestleMania 37, it doesn't appear to be a vote of no-confidence for him.

If anything, his US Title loss may have been a stepping stone. With Riddle being presented as a future top star, Orton could play a role in elevating him.
