10 Stupidest Things WWE Superstars Have Done In 2021 (So Far)

1. Everything Riddle Does

The RK-BRO pairing of Randy Orton and Riddle feels like the sort of thing that's going to get a huge response when WWE returns to arenas.

It's an angle making the most of Orton's sardonic comic timing, of how opposite both men are in their outward disposition, and of how WWE will answer the questions they're asking of Riddle's sub-Rob Van Dam babyface persona.

It's also been quite satisfying to see Matt Riddle booked as a pigsh*t thick d*ckhead ruining everybody else's day backstage, with the eventual turn by 'The Viper' likely to be as much down to him being an incessant irritation as much as Orton's own inability to get along with anybody.

Events in real life tainted what could have been a universally beloved top tier run for Riddle on the main roster, to the point where he'd now not be a miss at all. However, if it's deemed that he absolutely has to be on screen, there's a schadenfreude to see him p*ss about on a scooter or go looking for a missing invisible key. Just as there was when Sheamus booted his upside down face off at WrestleMania.
