10 BOLD Predictions For WWE In 2019
6. Vince McMahon Will Give The BIG Push To An NXT Indy Darling
Look at Matt Riddle. Look at that physique!
Matt Riddle is a preposterous physical specimen. It’s as if everything he ingests holds the properties of a a performance-enhancing drug. This is a guy who breezily admits to only working out when he can be arsed. An absolutely killer, believable pro wrestler, Riddle’s resting expression is that of a big, daft, beaming grin—and his charisma is so d*mn infectious that he puts a smile on the face of the people. You can already envisage Vince chanting “Bro!” alongside Riddle in Gorilla, with absolutely no regard to the massive stiffy housed in his trousers.
JBL used to say “Wash your ass, weakling, I’m sticking my c*ck in it”. He also used to say, all the time, “If you were to build a WWE Superstar from the ground up, he’d look like Randy Orton.” If you were to build Vince McMahon’s idealised WWE Superstar from the ground up, he’d look very much like Matt Riddle.
Crucially, Riddle is no meek millennial. He bantered off Dana White on Twitter the very second he signed with WWE, and so you can’t imagine he won’t approach Vince with a fearless attitude set to earn his elusive respect.
