Rumor Roundup: Matt Riddle’s Future On Smackdown, Why He Didn’t Go To RAW, More

1) Matt Riddle’s Future On Smackdown

Matt Riddle was officially called up to the WWE main roster this week. It was announced that he will be joining Smackdown.

According to @Wrestlevotes, WWE management has some high hopes for Riddle on the main roster. Here is what the account Tweeted:

WrestlingNews.co also wrote the following (a few months ago) about Riddle’s future:

I was told the following about Riddle last November from a WWE source: “Vince like guys like Shawn who have that rebel mentality and he sees some of Shawn in Matt. Matt can rub some people the wrong way but he’s a good guy and he will do great when Vince calls him up. I think he’s a future world champion. Vince will try to tweak him but his personality will get him far.”

My Take:

  • I am excited to see what Riddle can do on Smackdown. I think that he has a chance to get over with a lot of casual fans. I can’t wait to see him wrestle guys like AJ Styles, Daniel Bryan, Shinsuke Nakamura, Cesaro, and more.
