WWE is finally ready to move on from RK-Bro.

Randy Orton has been benched through injury since May 2022, but Matt Riddle fans have been clinging on to faint hopes that he'd return and the team would be good to go again. That increasingly looks less likely as time marches on. Besides, Riddle has started a new team with Drew McIntyre.

'Glas-Bro', 'Edin-Bro' or whatever creative chooses to call them might not experience the same success as Riddle's team with "Raaaaaandy" did, but it's worth a shot. Besides, contrasting reports say Orton is good to go one minute then possibly retiring the next. In short, RK-Bro is a thing of the past now.

If Randy does return after all, then there's every chance he'll do his own thing or actually end up feuding with Riddle to try and reheat someone who has definitely lost his way since Orton got injured. Sorry, RK-Bro lovers - it seems the odd couple gimmick is toast.
