5 Biggest WWE Winners & Losers In 2021

10. Winner: Riddle

Riddle may have lost his forename in moving to the main roster, but he’s gained a whole lot more. The former MMA star has all the tools he needs to succeed, and his outspoken manner and comedy stylings seem to have won him fans in the office.

He started the year winning the US Championship from the dominant Bobby Lashley, and while it wasn’t a particularly eventful reign, it culminated in a terrific match on WrestleMania night two, during which he and Sheamus put on a stiff clinic and Riddle’s scooter-mounted entrance gained one of the biggest pops of the event.

He then started teaming with the reluctant Randy Orton, who couldn’t help be charmed by his goofy manner. RK-Bro was one of the lone highlights of Raw for much of this year. The two clearly have a blast bouncing off each other, and like fellow hybrid athlete Kurt Angle before him, Riddle has an uncanny ability to turn from class clown to killer as soon as he steps in the ring.

The ace up his sleeve is the future break up of the tag team. Provided the booking isn’t bungled, Riddle has a heated angle with a future hall of famer to look forward to, and from there, the sky’s the limit.
