Professional Wrestling Career

WWE (2014 - Present)

NXT (2014 - 2020)

Rallis was called out to begin his training with WWE Performance Center in 2014 and was given a contract with WWE. He made his pro-wrestling debut after months at the NXT Live event in Tampa, Florida under the ring name Digg Rawlis. His television debut was another five months later, where he teamed up with Elias and fought Blake and Murphy in a losing cause.

In August 2015, he changed his in-ring name from Digg Rawlis to Riddick Moss to honor the former NFL player Randy Moss. He was not booked on the regular basis and was called for one or two appearances.

Moss entered the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic in October 2016 by teaming up with Tino Sabbatelli, but got eliminated in the first round by TM61. He again appeared with Sabatelli and lost to The Revival in January 2017. They again entered the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic Classic in 2018 and again were eliminated in the first round.

Sabbatelli and Moss worked as a team in live events and occasional television appearances and got separated after Moss got dumped by Sabbetelli.

Moss injured his Achilles tendon and was away from action for six months. He returned to the live with Robert Strauss and had non-televised matches with the company.

Main Roster (2020 - Present)

In January 2020, Moss made his main roster debut by escorting Mojo Rawley to the ring as Rawley's lineman. Moss & Rawley worked as a team for a brief period, where Moss helped Rawley to win and retain the 24/7 title. However Moss turned on Rawley after their match with Street Profits by pinning Rawley for the 24/7 Championship. He held the title for 41 days and lost the title to Truth. Moss was rarely booked on television and had very few appearances since 2021. He also suffered a torn ACL while performing on the Raw Underground.

In September 2021, Riddick Moss returned to television after a long hiatus as a heel by aligning himself with Happy Corbin, changing his name to Madcap Moss. He developed himself as a heel comic persona, who accompanied Happy Corbin to the ring. Moss and Corbin entered a feud with McIntyre, they mocked him with comics and entered into the rivalry. At WrestleMania 38, Moss entered the Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal and won at Night 1, and accompanied Baron Corbin at Night 2, where Corbin lost to McIntyre.

After Corbin's loss at WrestleMania, Corbin blamed Moss for his loss and hit him with the Andre The Giant Battle Royal Trophy and injured his neck. Both picked up rivalries between them and ended their alliance. Moss returned after injury and challenged Corbin for a No Holds Barred match at Hell in a Cell, where Moss defeated Corbin to end their feud.

Moss then became a singles wrestler and participated in the Fatal 4-way Money in the Bank Qualification match and qualified for the MITB ladder match by defeating Baron Corbin, Ezekial and The Miz. However, Moss failed to capture the MITB Briefcase, as Austin Theory grabbed the contract.

Moss then participated in the Fatal 5-Way #1 Contender match for the Intercontinental Championship, where Sheamus won. He then challenged Solo Sikoa for the NXT North American Champion and again ended in a losing cause.

Moss again entered the Fatal 4-Way match for the #1 Contender for the Intercontinental Championship and won. However Gunther squashed him during the championship match.
