Strap a rocket to him right now.

Corey Graves somewhat hilariously claimed that Matt Riddle had been benched for around one full year. That's...not true. He vanished from screens for purportedly violating WWE's Wellness Policy in December, and spent some time in rehab to iron out personal problems before returning four months later.

Still, the colour commentator was only trying to heighten the moment and tell the world what they probs already know: Riddle is about to get a sizeable push on TV again as a singles star. It also looks like his popular RK-Bro tag-team with the injured Randy Orton is all-but-finished going forwards.

Riddle ploughed through The Miz (who has been WrestleMania weekend's whipping boy), then celebrated with giddy fans who were definitely happy to see him back. Do not be surprised if he's instantly teleported into a feud with someone like Austin Theory or GUNTHER for one of the re-energised midcard belts soon.
