I've always liked Riley. Was fantastic to see fans get behind him, I understand it was mainly due to a dislike for the Miz that fans cheered, but the fact they cheered his name, It's a great way for him to build momentum if he can capitalise on it.

Riley is great. I'm just suprised he lost season 2 of NXT!

I don't think he's green. He can give better matches than The Miz. I'm pretty sure that bruise was from the I Quit Match, too. not sure if thats true but even if it is he still won't go far. dude is worse on the mic than Morrison so all the in ring talent won't save him. Apparently your ears are not functioning properly. I think he has loads of talent and I really hope last night was the start of a big push. I was surprised at how big of a reaction he got. Seriously one of my favorite moments in WWE this year.

At least and IC title run should be given for now to start him off like Orton, and then see how he does, and if he does good, give him a short WHC run also like Orton had, to test him out

well good for him but where does this leave miz? jobbing to alex riley? i would much rather have riley get his shot on smackdown so miz isnt stuck feuding with him at the moment. maybe if riley wasnt just considered a joke before last night.

Yikes.

Riley has potential but he is a goof. Giving him a serious face run is a little crazy right now. He got a pop only because of The Miz getting beat down.

Alex Riley is the total package. I am a big fan of The Miz, but honestly he is better. I thought the whole confrontation was very well done by both of them. Riley is not green at all, and he is sick on the mic.

I thought that segment was really good and made Riley look like a star.
And although I believe most of the fans in attendance were cheering because he was kicking the ass of one of the biggest heels on RAW, if he keeps on "1Up'ing" The Miz, a lot more people will probably jump on the bandwaggon of Alex Riley.
But that was definatly interesting and I can't wait to see where this goes.

They really need to keep the momentum of this feud going forwards in the weeks to come in order to really get Riley over as a face and keep the fan interest in these two. As Kanenite mentioned, I can't wait to see where this goes as it's nice to have a transition already from the Cena/Miz feud.

Yea.. They were cheering for someone beating up The Miz.. It's not like there was a "Riley" chant going after it was over or anything..
Speaking of NXT 2.. Can we just forget that season ever happened.. It failed worse than Maven..

I like Riley but Miz is my favorite in WWE right now and I felt like he got buried last night. I was with them when Riley first took him down, but at that point, him getting thrown around like a ragdoll, I feel may have hurt him

Last night was really well done. And while I don't know how long he can be face, I think he will do well. But i have 2 questions. 1. Now that he's not working for Miz, shouldn't he be going to Smackdown like he was supposed to? 2. Does he spell man "a-Ry"?

Of course the reaction was based on The Miz getting his ass handed to him, but it's how every wrestler becomes a star. Riley will get the rub from Miz, which allows him to get his own independent reaction down the line because people like the way he beats up heels.

I think Riley's got it all, but I think he needs a more legit gimmick

I loved the way the beatdown looked. It literally looked like Alex Riley beat the crap out of The Miz. I can see Alex Riley go far in the WWE. He could improve in the ring a little bit more and though I don't think he's golden on the mic, he's very good on his interviews.

its funny, cause Low Ki won that season of NXT. Ki hardly got any screen time, but this guy, this carbon copy of almost every wrestler I've ever seen is all over the place.

Keep him heel and put him on SD!. Yeah Miz finally pissed him off, but character wise he can still be a d-bag. It should be seen as a huge d-bag pissed another d-bag off, he shouldn't just be all nice and fan friendly now. So i say send him to SD! and let him work the midcard as a heel for a while.

not sure if thats true but even if it is he still won't go far. dude is worse on the mic than Morrison so all the in ring talent won't save him. That's the most unbelievable thing I've ever read on here, honestly.. Alex Riley has that "it" factor.. He can be bigger than The Miz.. He can be bigger than John Morrison.. And he is definitely much more talented on the mic than alot of superstars.. Riley will be the future.. I guarantee it. hahahahaha what? Riley stutters his lines, misses cues, and is just a horrible actor. no charisma at all.

Miz has come a long way and surely gotten himself over as a decent heel. Of course he had help with feuding with Orton and then Cena, but he should get his credit. HOWEVER, lets not kid ourselves.....he isnt the most over heel in WWE. Then can you please tell me who is? Cause the only one close is CM Punk and the fans sure don't react to him like they do to the Miz...
