#1 Matt Riddle

A golden opportunity.
A golden opportunity.

While seeing Velveteen Dream return at the Royal Rumble would make for a brilliant moment, the most exciting prospect out of all possible NXT Superstars entering the match has to be Matt Riddle, after his "beef" with Brock Lesnar and Goldberg.

Riddle has been extremely outspoken about wanting to retire Lesnar and for a long time, that seemed to be a pipe dream. But in a few weeks' time, the Original Bro has the opportunity to make it one step closer to that pipe dream.

Seeing the two interact would be lovely, especially with Riddle's laid back ways and not-so laid back strikes. It has the potential to be a classic Rumble moment. Aside from Lesnar, a surprise return for Goldberg would raise Riddle's excitement value to the moon.

Again, the former MMA fighter has been openly critical of the WCW legend and if WWE can work a deal out with him, Riddle and Goldberg could have a monumental face-off in the Royal Rumble match themselves.

Whether one or both of these moments happen, it is an exciting time to be Matt Riddle.
