With plenty on offer on Monday night WWE RAW, RK-Bros stole the show and booked themselves a spot into the WrestleMania card. Randy Orton and Riddle left the night as champions, winning a fantastic triple threat match against Alpha Academy and the team of Kevin Owens and Seth Rollins.
The opening match on Monday night saw the RK-Bros getting away with the Tag Team Championship title. In the end moments, when Seth Rollins and Kevin Owens were landing a flurry of blows at Chad Gable, Riddle re-entered the fray to remove Rollins and then pinned down Gable to bring victory.
Now, the duo of Randy Orton and Riddle await an unnamed opponent in their quest to defend the WrestleMania title. On the other hand, the road to WrestleMania remains unclear for former champions Alpha Academy and most interestingly Seth Rollins.

After the bout ended, Randy Orton was quick to admit that this is the best time he is having in his twenty-year career in WWE. He also admitted that Riddle is his only friend in the locker room. In the past as well, Orton has openly praised his teammate.
“One of the main reasons me and Riddle come across as so happy in the ring together is…he’s the one guy that can grow my favorite strain. I’m not lying, Seriously, I’m having fun out there. Monday, they had me put on a graduation cap and gown. Whenever they are tasking me some with kind of ridiculous stuff, you wouldn’t think you would see Randy Orton in a cap and gown."
"I laughed because I was excited because I knew the fans were going to be like, ‘what the hell is he doing?’ After the career that I’ve had and all the somewhat monotonous intensity, I did that for so long, if I crack a smile and break the fourth wall or whatever, if you can tell I’m having fun at this point in my career, I feel like it draws you in more because I was so against letting people in before," Orton had said two months back on The Ringer Wrestling podcast.
