Riddle reveals sending an apology letter to Roman Reigns

Speaking to Mark Andrews on My Love Letter to Wrestling, Riddle revealed that he actually reached out to his tag-team partner and friend, Randy Orton for help with the apology. However, it was not accepted. Riddle said that ‘The Viper’ is not good at apologizing and he should be asked to write a apology letter.

Here is what Riddle said:

“One thing I have learned is don’t ask Randy to write an apology for you. The other day, I said some things about a gentleman that I work with. He’s on a different brand, he’s a champion, he’s a chief, one might say. I said some things he didn’t like. I told Randy, ‘I said some things, I’m pretty sure he’s not happy about it. What should I say? I should make this better.’ I sent Randy an apology that I wrote for this person. Randy looked at it and was like, ‘Nah, this is all wrong, this is what you write.’ He sent me an apology back and there was no apology at all. It was basically like, ‘My bad.’ He knows this Chief better than I do. So I sent this apology and let’s just say that he did not accept it. I was like, ‘Damnit Randy. I can never ask you to apologize for anything.’ I’ve learned, don’t ask Randy to do an apology for you,”he said.

Orton and Riddle have been a team for nearly a year and have also held the Raw Tag Team Championships. Riddle is set to compete for the WWE Championship in the Elimination Chamber match at WWE Elimination Chamber.
