RK-Bro Capture WWE Raw Tag Team Titles
Champs once more
RK-Bro are once again the Raw Tag Team champions, winning the titles in a triple threat match on Monday's Raw in Cleveland.
Randy Orton and Riddle defeated champions Alpha Academy and fellow challengers Seth Rollins and Kevin Owens to capture the gold.
For the finish, Orton caught Chad Gable with an RKO as he attempted a moonsault. Orton was then taken out by Rollins and Owens, following a Curb Stomp and a powerbomb, respectively. However, Riddle managed to clear Owens from the ring, before pinning Gable to win the match.
After the match, the announcers noted that Rollins and Owens had no clear path onto the WrestleMania card as things stood. No member of any of the three teams has been announced for a WrestleMania match yet.
Alpha Academy's reign ends after 56 days. Gable and Otis won the titles from Orton and Riddle on the January 10 Raw in Philadelphia.
Orton and Riddle's first reign as Raw Tag Team champions began at SummerSlam in Las Vegas on August 21, when they defeated AJ Styles and Omos.
