10 WWE Stars Who Desperately Need Their OLD Gimmicks
9. Ruby Riott - Riott Squad Leader
Thanks to Black Wednesday, Ruby Riott can't get her actual Riott Squad back together, but is there scope for rebuilding her reputation with a newer, deadlier version?
Riott had agency as the believable leader of a stable that mostly existed on the peripheries of the women's division, even of the trio were generally just fed to those in the pushed position. Could a second go of the Riott Squad mirror Faarooq's reimagined Nation Of Domination in 1997?
There, he got shot of Crush and Savio Vega after a string of losses, replacing them with D'Lo Brown, Kama, Ahmed Johnson and later Rocky Maivia. Mark Henry and Owen Hart were added in 1998 as Maivia became both The Rock and the new ruler of the group, with the gimmick far from doomed after Faarooq's original restructure.
Riott's got little-to-nothing happening presently, and stables are in short supply in WWE as it is. Not least in a league with listless tag titles and a general sense of malaise.
