I hope not. He comes off as your girlfriend's annoying little brother that thinks getting high is a personality trait. I change the channel or skip ahead the moment I see him.

Riddle could easily be WWE Champion eventually, but do I think he will be a huge name?? No. Nobody in the WWE anymore is a huge name. There hasn't been a huge name in the WWE since John Cena. The WWE is just an indy fed now with money behind it. Triple H wants to sign little guys to have 20 minute matches with a lot of high spots who all look the same and do the same moves. Where as years ago, you had so many unique stars who stood out and ended up crossing over into the media entertainment so even non-wrestling fans knew who these wrestlers were. WWE is a indy fed with money......

I'm not sure what this stuff with Orton is leading to, but Riddle has nowhere to go but up. Hopefully, his character gets an essential facelift and we see what he can actually do.

nobody in wrestling becomes "huge stars" outside of wrestling anymore, its not that popular.... however Riddle absolutely has the talent & tools to become the next Sheamus, as in a guy who can be put in a top spot at any point, or he can carry a mid card title, or have multiple tag runs with a random partner. He fits all the traits needed to just be exactly what the WWE wants. and i hope it happens. his current character is ing hilarious, and in almost all his matches he is being booked like a legit badass, its the perfect compliment. in regards to his personal life, the accusations/allegations clearly have no merit. they wouldnt be doing what they are doing with him if they did. other guys have had questionable issues and have disappeared from TV or been let go. seriously...think about it without bias for a second.

I lost intrest when they put him in a fued with corbin, I had so much hope for him on the main roster then they fed him to a guy that forces you to lose intrest in whoever he's fueding with look at how far Rollins, Strowman and others have fallen in the fans eyes after fueding with Corbin, I had hope agian once he was us champion but the didn't last long, I wish I could believe that creative will do good with Riddle but I just can't after what they have already done to him.

Absolutely. He just has to stay out of trouble, and keep doing a great job of reciting the mindless crap he is fed on a week to week basis. He is a natural in the ring.

I’d be surprised if he does. I like the guy but I don’t think WWE is going to push him to that level in the future.

wrestling has been popular many times outside the attitude era. saying wrestlers, and wrestling itself, will never reach those levels of popularity again is as much a baseless presumption as a fan during the attitude era believing that era would never peak out and decline. the wwe are not making mainstream stars. you can say times have change or whatever argument you want, but the fact remains. Wrestling was popular for two very small windows and wrestling had huge crashes after both of those booms. Arguably, the more recent of the two was far more successful for the company than the other. Obviously WWE isn't making mainstream stars, but neither is anybody else for that matter. Wrestling will most likely never hit the mainstream again, especially given the fact that the biggest company in the world has had ratings declining further and further, and the second-biggest company is barely even averaging a million, and its primetime TV show has also gotten pushed aside to other nights multiple times due to various sports playoff games. (Not to mention when it followed an NBA game, a lot of social media thought it was just a knockoff version of WWE.) It's been twenty years since wrestling petered out of the mainstream, and the product WWE presented during that last big boom that made wrestling mainstream has aged horribly these past twenty years especially with the sponsors and various partnerships such as Special Olympics, Make-A-Wish, etc that they have now, so they ain't ever bringing that product back. Wrestling's going to remain a product catered to a very niche audience unless something drastically changes, and I just don't see that happening. You can wait as long as you want for Dad to come back with the milk. But at some point, you have to realize he ain't coming back with that milk. Wrestling inarguably declined in popularity after the Austin-Rock era, yet they still made John Cena a household name. With Batista and Orton not too far off that. Aside from Ronda who was already a household name before she signed up to the WWE they've had no new stars for a very long time.
