#1 Drew McIntyre picks Riddle and two other WWE RAW Superstars for his potential faction

Several days ago, Drew McIntyre told Steve Fall of Turnbuckle Talk that Damian Priest, Riddle, and Omos would be his picks to form a new WWE RAW faction.

McIntyre named Priest as he was impressed by the latter's in-ring skills. The Scottish Warrior also said he did not want to be betrayed by any potential faction members, which is why he chose Riddle. Picking Omos seemed like an easy decision for him because why wouldn't anyone want to ally with a 7ft 3in tall WWE Superstar?

“Damian Priest. We’ve got a good back and forth the past few weeks. And you know, he thoroughly impressed me on Monday Night RAW with myself, Sheamus and himself in a triple-threat match. He stepped up to me and Sheamus - two of the most physical wrestlers in the history of WWE, not just currently. Riddle as well. I think he's so happy go lucky. I feel like it would be obvious if he was going to turn on me. I think he would foreshadow it. I feel like Omos could be easily swayed. You know, he's a big angry man but he's got AJ by his side. I feel like if I sat him down, had a little chat with him and pulled him to the good side, it’d be handy to have somebody who’s 7 foot 3,” said McIntyre.

Interestingly, Damian Priest and Riddle won different titles during this year's SummerSlam event.

While Priest became the United States Champion, Riddle gained the RAW tag team titles alongside Randy Orton at the said pay-per-view.
