Alex Riley isn’t a top superstar but, he was supposed to be one. Even though the WWE portrayed him as The Miz’s sidekick, many people believed he could've gotten a bigger push in the company.

Will John Cena beat Ric Flair's record? A former WCW Champion thinks so HERE

He was supposed to eliminate John Cena from the 2011 Rumble match but he accidentally eliminated himself early from the match. Actually, Kofi and John Cena were trying to eliminate him but Riley lost his grip and fell off the ring. When this happened, Cena was left stunned as Riley was the wrestler who would have eliminated him from the match later.

But, the 16-time champion handled everything perfectly and later got eliminated by The Miz who was not even in the match.

This 40 man Royal Rumble match was won by Alberto Del Rio who then challenged Edge for the World Heavyweight Title at WrestleMania.
