Then: Alex Riley entered the 2011 Rumble after helping The Miz retain his WWE Title against Randy Orton earlier in the evening. That'd prove to be his biggest role on the night - Riley was eliminated within three minutes by John Cena.

He's another who (for various reasons) never lived up to early potential.

Now: Post-2016 release, Riley moved into acting. Eagle eyes would've spotted him in Netflix' GLOW series a few years back, but that's not the end of his story. Riley announced that he'd be returning to the ring ASAP in 2019.

Look out for that one.
