WWE has already started to tweak Matt Riddle by simply referring to him as Riddle. However, this is not the tweak he needs or the tweak that will help him get out of the slump that he’s been in. He needs to be a more intense legit fighting character like Brock Lesnar, Kurt Angle, or Ken Shamrock.

Riddle doesn’t have to stop being The Original Bro, but he does need to show some more intensity between the ropes. Throughout his career, Kurt Angle was able to walk the line between being a sports entertainer with a flair for comedy and still being taken seriously by fans inside the ring. Riddle is capable of doing the same.

Fans need to be invested in his character if Riddle is to ever be more than just a mid-card attraction. A more intense Bro could help propel him up to the top of the card.
