Monday Night Raw opened with Vince McMahon announcing that whoever brings his 100 million dollar egg to him will be awarded a championship match against Big E on tonight’s episode of WWE Raw. But what followed next was absolute madness from Matt Riddle. It was one of those classic Matt Riddle and Randy Orton things.
While Randy Orton had no idea where his tag-team partner was, Matt Riddle showed up dressed as ‘The Viper.’ It was hilarious to see Riddle having a mustache and a beard on his chin, just like Orton. In the previous episodes of Raw, we have seen Orton asking Riddle to think and behave like him.

Matt Riddle was scheduled to face Dolph Ziggler in the opening match of tonight’s episode of WWE Raw. Though all eyes were on Riddle and his new look, it was Ziggler who started things brightly by hitting his opponent with some impressive dropkicks.
Riddle used his athleticism to make a comeback in the match. But it was short-lived as Ziggler took him out with a Superkick outside the ring. Ziggler and Robert Roode then taunted Orton by posing as ‘The Viper’. During the commercial break, Ziggler infected more damage to Riddle by taking off his false mustache.
