Reading the latest news about Riddle getting his new grillz I start to wonder if he really fits into WWE. It’s not the grillz, everybody is allowed to have his own taste, but more the way how he is presenting hinself in social media while being suspended due to wellness policy. Being an enfant terrible was never good in WWE but also no dealbreaker for them (remember HBK for example) as lon as your talent justifies ignoring your misbehavior. Nowadays however they seem to be way more strict (Mandy Rose). Once again one has to wonder how long will he be kept if his behavior doesn’t change.

Orton's done way worse during his career.

I don’t care so much about the grill, but he doesn’t look well in that picture. I’m really routing for the guy, he could be on top if he could just get his demons in check. He is very much like Jeff Hardy in a lot of ways.

Hopefully Randy can help him in the way that Edge helped Orton

I don’t care so much about the grill, but he doesn’t look well in that picture. Vince was still controlling creative it would be Riddle/Tekashi69 vs Bad Bunny/Priest at WM. |

I remember thinking earlier this year when Drew was hurt and Randy got injured that Riddle was going to main event against Reigns, how far of a fall he's gone in a short time.
He's gone from main event with RK-Bro, to being logistical choice to take on Reigns on some PPV, to getting owned by Rollins in their feud, to tagging with Elias, to suspended in rehab.
Like others have said, guy just can't seem to stay out of his own way. In-ring the guy can go, but seemingly behind the scenes dude is his own worst enemy.

Hopefully he gets everything under control and gets back on the path he was on. The guy is one of the most talented in the business and can easily be a multi time champ if he can get his demons in check. Which I feel very sorry for him,those types of problems can be some of the hardest things to overcome in your life.

Riddle is great, and WWE has put up with worse. From what it looks like on his social media, he's not even doing anything particularly bad...? There's a path for him to get back to where he was prior to him checking into rehab and I don't think it's unlikely he finds it.

A year+ ago I had him picked as the next big star. Just my opinion but he’s got self destruct written all over him.

Great success = profits. Mediocre success still = profits.
