10 Long-Term WWE Pay Offs You Should Be Excited For
2. Matt Riddle Vs The World
Matt Riddle is a pro wrestling polymath who feels in perfect synchronisation with the current state of the industry.
He brings credible MMA pedigree as well as the flare for Sports Entertainment many in that field have shown. He brings a confidence entirely absent from a prior generation too afraid to put themselves forward during the worst excesses of Vince McMahon's monopoly. He brings his own flip-flops just to kick them off into the crowd.
For all of the above reasons and more, he feels like the perfect wrestler for modern day WWE. Unafraid of The Chairman, unafraid to go nose-to-nose with Brock Lesnar, and - as evidenced by some politically dicey remarks online - completely unafraid of the damage somebody like Bill Goldberg could do to him.
The tricky part here is assessing the endgame, but perhaps that's less relevant here. The idea of Riddle Vs Goldberg, then Riddle Vs Lesnar and frankly Riddle Vs whomever WWE wishes to feed him is so captivating and dynamic that audiences should be happy he's inadvertently crafted all these worked shoots in the first place.
'The Original Bro' is fearless and perhaps that's to a fault. But who wouldn't want to be around to watch if that proves true?
