Sometimes, timing is everything and 2020 isn't the year that Matt Riddle should be on Monday Night RAW. While he would be an exciting addition to either brand, the move to SmackDown was logical because RAW is stacked with talent.

We all know of Paul Heyman's famous "list" of Superstars that he's been pushing, including the likes of Drew McIntyre, [Buddy] Murphy, Aleister Black, a recent addition in Apollo Crews, and more.

Heyman has done well to utilize Superstars who didn't have much momentum previously and every single one of them is benefiting under Paul Heyman's leadership as Executive Director.

RAW is far too talent-stacked right now for Matt Riddle to have a place. Heyman and others have been investing in various Superstars for the long-run and if Matt Riddle were to appear, it's quite clear that he would be lost in the shuffle.

While it can happen down the road with different trades and drafts, this isn't the year for that to happen.
