The 39-year-old wrote, "Happy Birthday @RandyOrton.”

Rewinding to 2023, The Viper made an appearance on the 2023 edition of Logan Paul’s IMPAULSIVEpodcast and truly appreciated the efforts Riddle made to make his wrestling days easier amid severe back injury. Orton mentioned Riddle’s constant efforts to help him be outside the ring as much as possible due to his back injury; he stated, "Last year, before I had to leave because of the back, I was in a tag team with former WWE Superstar Matt Riddle. And I've got to give him props, because that year we tagged together, I was not able to be in that ring unless I was in there with someone like him. Because he was able to take the brunt of the physicality, he'd tag me at the end; I'd come in and do my s***, if it wasn't for him, I wouldn't have made it that far.”Well, if that isn’t a true partnership, then what is? There is no denial about the cordial ties between the two wrestlers who once rocked the stage together. As WWE’s expansion continues to shake the wrestling grounds; you never know who might step inside the ring again in the events that the future will unfold.
