10 Wrestlers Who Broke Kayfabe In Unusual Ways
10. Riddle Forgets His Lines
In what might have been a turning point for Riddle's entire WWE run, an inability to stick to the intense and immense scripting of a typical edition of Monday Night Raw ended well for him following a clunky chat with Asuka.
Just days before a WrestleMania United States Championship clash with Sheamus, the 'Original Bro' scooted over to the then-Raw Women's Champion to strike up a chat about his vehicle of choice. After asking her about their prevalence in Japan, he completely forgot what he was saying, said as much, and sheepishly dipped out of shot.
Plenty of others have been fired for less, but Vince McMahon reportedly found the gaffe hilarious. Riddle's continued success ever since bears this out, with his lines being increasingly stupid and insufferable as if to legitimise the mistake as anything but.
Such is life in the strange universe WWE has cultivated - when absolutely nothing holds together, the oddest sh*t will stick.
