His laid-back persona and good looks resonate well with both male and female fans

The King of Bros has made perhaps the most successful transition from MMA to pro wrestling next to Shayna Bayszler. His acquisition by NXT is considered to be a real coup.

Why he might be the next big thing: Riddle brings no-questions-asked tough guy status due to his former career as a UFC fighter. His laid-back persona and good looks resonate well with both male and female fans, and his style is in keeping with the evolution of the sport. Plus, he's already a household name outside the wrestling business.

Why he might not be the next big thing: Riddle's counterculture credibility may hinder him with a more mainstream audience. Plus, he sometimes seems to be trying too hard on social media to get himself over, putting a # on almost everything he says.
