Randy Orton Shoots On Matt Riddle & NXT On Twitter

'The Viper' got extra spicy with 'The Original Bro' on social media.

Randy Orton doesn't give a damn.

The above statement has been repeated so often that it's almost redundant, though 'The Viper' continues to live up to it, with today providing another example.

Last night saw Matt Riddle post a celebratory tweet featuring an image of him and Pete Dunne holding the NXT Tag Team Championships, accompanied by a celebratory caption. Orton's response? Well, have a look for yourselves:-

Not very nice, is it? What did 'The Original Bro' do to deserve that?!

To be fair, Riddle seems like exactly that kind of guy somebody like Orton wouldn't mesh well with, particularly with recent reports that Vince McMahon sees him as a pro-wrestling outsider. Randy is one hell of a traditionalist himself. Riddle, most definitely, is not.

Orton also liked the following tweet criticised NXT TakeOver:-

Again, hardly a surprise, as his old-school style isn't exactly in-line with NXT's all-action approach. Remember the "... dive" controversy?

There's every chance Orton is just having a little bit of fun here, though, at the same time, it's easy to see him detesting both Riddle and the NXT product. It'll be interesting to see if anyone ends up clapping back.
