Orton has already set a record for most pay-per-view matches by a WWE superstar. Winning the Tag Team Title Unification match could have cemented his legacy as the only superstar to hold the undisputed singles and tag team champions in WWE history.
Many fans took to Twitter to express their displeasure with WWE’s booking of Riddle. The former UFC fighter is one of the most over acts in WWE, and many believe that he’s the future of the company.
Rip WWE wished they knew how to make great talent again
