Rumor Roundup: Update On Roman Reigns’ Opponents, WWE Changing Matt Riddle’s Character, More

Here are some of the latest WWE rumors that are floating around.

5) WWE Changing Matt Riddle’s Character

As you likely know by now, WWE recently changed Matt Riddle’s name to just ‘Riddle’. According to Sean Ross Sapp on Fightful Select (subscribe here), WWE is also planning to tweak Riddle’s character.

Sapp says that Vince McMahon wants Riddle to be more of a serious character moving forward. Here is what Sapp wrote:

It seems as if the match particularly had a big impression on McMahon, as he made the call to change Matt Riddle’s in-ring name to “Riddle,” and pitched a more serious character presentation. We’re told Riddle was supportive of the idea.

My Take:

  • I will be interested to see if this works. I am still not sold on the ‘Riddle’ name though but we will have to wait and see.

4) WWE-Netflix Project

During WWE’s third-quarter call with investors, a new WWE project with Netflix was teased.

WWE President and Chief Revenue Officer, Nick Khan, teased that Netflix is working on a docuseries about Vince McMahon.

My Take:

  • This sounds awesome. I absolutely can’t wait to see what they come up with as I love a good docuseries.
