10 Unlikely Outside Bets To Join Bray Wyatt’s New WWE Stable
5. Riddle
When it became clear ahead of Extreme Rules that Bray Wyatt was going to be there, fans were able to fantasy book what role they thought he might play in proceedings. Which match would he interrupt? On whose behalf would he interfere? Who would be left lying defeated, even changed, by Wyatt’s destructive force?
Ultimately, Wyatt was given his own section at the end to let his imagination run free. The preceding three hours of wrestling had no real bearing on Bray’s plans, or so we thought. But Wyatt’s return did happen immediately after - and was in fact, perhaps heralded by - Matt Riddle's celebrations after his Fight Pit victory over Seth Rollins. Are we to imagine this was all a coincidence?
The charismatic stoner energy of “The Original Bro” doesn’t feel like a natural fit for a cult-like supernatural stable. But then again, what about the strange, billowing smoke and intoxicating smell that emanate from his corner of the locker room?
Besides, Matt Riddle has admitted in interviews that his private life is a mess. If he’s at a low ebb and his family have abandoned him, as Seth Rollins already brought up on TV, maybe he’s more than usually susceptible to a cult, with its promise of a new family who won’t leave him?
