Riddle seems to have his own way with WWE Icons. First, he convinced Randy Orton to team up with him, and now it is John Cena with whom The Original Bro shared a musical moment.
As the world knows by now, John Cena returned to WWE after almost a year at Money in the Bank. After his initial appearance, Cena opened the show of Monday Night RAW.
After the 16-time World Champion was done with his crowd address and challenge to Roman Reigns, he pumped up the crowd. Then, Riddle appeared on the ramp on his iconic scooter.

He was there for his match after Cena’s address. But Riddle’s face gave way to the fact that he was completely star-struck. He rode the scooter to the ring.
Cena welcomed him to the ring with, “Dude, I finally get it.” The superstars were then involved in a ‘Bro off’ as they said “bro” in different styles and ending the segment with saying “bro” harmonically and in unison.
After this interaction, Riddle and The Viking Raiders faced WWE RAW Tag Team Champions Aj Styles and Omos with John Morrison. Riddle’s team won the match after Erik covered Morrison after The Viking Experience.

However, some fans were not feeling the vibes at all! They thought Riddle ruined Cena’s moment –
John Cena returns to #WWERaw and opens up the show saying he's coming for reigns….then has a very cringe worthy segment with Matt riddle….the air in the balloon is blowing out already…I hate PG in my wrestling 😒

Matt Riddle makes John Cena look like Stone Cold in comparison just to show how goofy and retarded he really is.#RAW
— Matt Gordon #ThankYouKane (@MattGordon1999) July 20, 2021
So John Cena comes out, does a good promo and Matt Riddle comes out and kills it dead.
Got it.

That segment between John Cena and Matt Riddle should confirm to every living person that Vince is VERY high on Riddle.
If you don't like him, strap in because he's getting that mega push sooner rather than later later #WWERaw

The interaction was very refreshing and beneficial for both men. It portrayed Cena’s range as a performer and established Riddle more as the goofy and entertaining superstar.
As of now, Cena will be busy with Roman Reigns but after he is done with him, Cena and Riddle might team-up. Their chemistry was really good and judging from the crowd reaction, the majority loved it.
