However, when Randy Orton came back, Riddle had been released by WWE and Randy came back in tremendous physical condition. Riddle was asked about Randy Orton's appearance on the Barstool Rasslin' podcast and expressed his fondness for Randy as a cool person and his newfound thickness.

"Dude, he’s a big boy. He definitely thickened up. He looks good, though. He looks strong. Randy’s a big guy. [Brandon Walker asks if Orton is cool] He’s pretty cool, man. He’s a good guy. I’ll say this, if you ask him for a picture in the airport, not gonna be that cool to you there. I’d say anybody with his status and what he’s been through, wrong place."

Elsewhere in the interview, Riddle spoke about why Vince McMahon had the idea for him to ride a scooter in WWE. Learn more about that here.
