During a recent appearance on the “Developmentally Speaking” podcast, Matt Riddle expressed his desire to “finish the story” with RK-Bro, the tag team he formed with Randy Orton during his time in WWE.
Riddle was released from WWE before Orton returned to the ring, leaving their storyline unfinished.
Riddle said, “I loved everything I did. I wish I would have been able to finish the run with Randy [Orton], with his injuries and then when we first started teaming up, he got COVID and was out for a couple months, he got it really bad. Then with the injuries, he’d have to take weeks off here and there. I was honestly waiting for him to come back…like I said, the one that I really wanted to finish was RK-Bro. RK-Bro has some untied ends, some loose ends if you will. It’d be nice to finish that, even if it’s just me getting punted, whatever. It’d be nice to put a period at the end of it….RK-Bro, I’d like to finish that. But if I don’t, me and Randy are still friends. He texts me and messages me all the time, and that feels good enough. So yeah, I’m happy.”
During a recent appearance on the “Busted Open Radio” podcast, Joe Hendry discussed his achievements in 2024, which includes a short NXT stint as part of the WWE-TNA crossover.
Hendry said, ”It has been an insane year, but it’s been the best year. To me it’s proof that every dog has its day and it’s never too late as well … There were surprise appearances, there were crossovers between TNA and NXT. I’ve had some amazing opportunities, we got a song to the top of the charts, main event back-to-back TNA, WWE pay-per-views, front cover of Pro Wrestling Illustrated. It’s been the dream. I’m not the guy that gets over the first time. I’m the guy that tries, tries and tries again. Every time someone says my name, I appear and I never stop. And that’s the message I want to put out there — is when you have a goal, you have to chase it relentlessly and for me, it’s being the TNA World Champion.”
