6 Things WWE subtly told us on RAW: Former Royal Rumble winner kicked out of Title feud, Underutilized Champion set to turn face after 2 years?

#4 An interesting character direction for Riddle on RAW?

Riddle defeated Xavier Woods in a great match

Riddle vs Xavier Woods on RAW had no right to be as good as it was. We were a bit surprised that it got so much time, but it was a match that could have stolen the show with a live crowd.

One of the most exciting things about the return of the live audience is seeing superstars like Riddle thrive in such environments when they haven't had the opportunity to do so since their debut (minus WrestleMania 37).

Either way, it was a continuation from RAW last week when Riddle shoved Xavier Woods down after Kofi Kingston (controversially) defeated Randy Orton. This match on RAW allowed both Riddle and Woods to display their athletic best, and it delivered.

The finish was interesting. Riddle hit an RKO out of nowhere and celebrated with Randy Orton's pose post-match.

Neither Kofi Kingston nor Randy Orton were at ringside, which boosted their match quality. WWE seems to be slowly forging Riddle and Orton into a cohesive unit, indicating that a potential heel turn (for Riddle) and a long-term storyline is in the works.
