#3 Impressed on WWE RAW: Riddle

Tonight, on WWE RAW, Riddle had the opportunity to go one-on-one against Bobby Lashley. Riddle has been involved in backstage altercations with both Lashley and MVP for weeks. This week, he managed to get under their skin by picking a victory over the United States Champion – even though it had its flaws.

Riddle started strong in this match and worked hard to gain dominance over Lashley. The latter also deserves a lot of credit for creating enough room that allowed Riddle to become more creative inside the ring on WWE RAW. In the end, Lashley held Riddle in his submission maneuver and forced him to tap out. Unfortunately for Lashley, the match official didn’t see the part where Riddle tapped out.

While MVP and Lashley were busy arguing with the referee, Riddle rolled up his opponent from behind and quickly pinned him inside the ring. This was a big win for Riddle on WWE RAW. We will now probably watch him challenge Lashley for the United States Championship in the near future – an opportunity that Riddle certainly deserves.
