10 Best Wrestling Tag Teams Of 2021
5. RK-Bro
The main WWE product has been near-unwatchable in 2021.
It's the same old drab, a world of nothingness, pointless rematches, and video packages galore for acts Vince McMahon will forget even exist within a month. Veer Mahaan's non-arrival - a running gag, at this stage - can be put down to Vince not knowing Veer from Shanky, or better yet, he knows neither of them exists.
On Raw, though, where the aforementioned is all particularly rife, RK-Bro has been a weird, yet absurdly entertaining duo.
They're the epitome of a modern WWE tag team. Randy Orton has the desired WWE style perfected, while Riddle, intact with some of his old intensity, is nearing that same city. It's weird, then, that they've been so incredibly enjoyable.
While their matches haven't been that great, they earn their place mostly through their character work. You believe Riddle to be this cheeky youngster, Orton effectively acting like his dad to keep him out of trouble. It's a character dynamic that works perfectly for the WWE product. When Riddle came out on a camel at Crown Jewel, for example, it worked so well because of The Viper's genuine confusion. His facial expressions were effortless in the moment.
Had they been allowed to let loose a bit more in-ring-wise, they'd be higher-ranked without question.
