#1. Hope is true: Vince McMahon's backstage reaction to Matt Riddle's barefoot story

Matt Riddle has been making a big impact on SmackDown

There have been a lot of rumors regarding Matt Riddle and his position in WWE backstage. While most of them have been about backstage officials having a problem with Matt Riddle calling out the likes of Brock Lesnar and Goldberg, the latest one from Wrestlingnews.co reports that Vince McMahon loved Matt Riddle's barefoot story:

Paul Davis of WrestlingNews.co now reports that Vince McMahon was a big fan of Matt Riddle's story. It was noted that Vince McMahon loved the story when he first heard it backstage, and the WWE Boss liked it so much that he ended up booking it as a segment on SmackDown.

Davis also added that Matt Riddle gets more creative input than most WWE Superstars. We hope this is true because it would be a good sign of what's to come in his WWE run. WWE has a potentially big star on their hands and they need to take the right steps.
