There are a couple of things upcoming talents should keep in mind – respect the veteran wrestlers, and never steal their finishing moves. As it turns out, Matt Riddle got away with doing just that. In an ironic twist of fate, the ‘Original Bro’ wasn’t original at all on last week’s Raw. Riddle stole his RK-Bro tag team partner’s finisher, the RKO, to put Xavier Woods out of commission.

Randy had a word with Riddle after the match. But instead of berating him, Randy offered Riddle to stay ringside and learn a thing or two from ‘The Viper‘ himself. Riddle could not be overjoyed and jumped on the offer.
