5 Reasons why Matt Riddle is moving to SmackDown and not RAW

#1. To be the face of the brand

Could Kurt Angle's prophecy come true?

It was Kurt Angle who revealed that Matt Riddle will be joining the SmackDown roster. Having witnessed his war against Timothy Thatcher up-close just a couple of days prior, the Olympic Gold Medalist was full of praise for The King of Bros.

Angle made an interesting proclamation - that he believes Matt Riddle will become the face of Friday Night SmackDown. While many people might judge him at first without knowing too much about him, he's as talented as a WWE Superstar gets.

He has exactly what it takes to be in that spot and for all we know, Angle's prophecy could end up coming true. SmackDown needs top babyfaces right now and with Roman Reigns' future uncertain as of this writing, WWE has to carry on with the assumption that he won't be around.

Matt Riddle might have been brought to the Blue brand with the intention of becoming the face. It was a spot that AJ Styles held for over 2-and-a-half years and Matt Riddle would be an interesting pick.
