WWE RAW: 3 Superstars who flopped and 3 who impressed – Triple H returns to face Randy Orton, Alexa Bliss back with a surprise (Jan 11th, 2021)

#2 Impressed on WWE RAW: Riddle

Riddle delivered one of the best performances on WWE RAW this week. He was scheduled to face Bobby Lashley once again, and both Superstars locked horns in an extremely aggressive match. Lashley also deserves a lot of credit for ensuring that Riddle didn’t look weak even when the United States Champion appeared to be the dominant one.

Riddle looked like an absolute star inside the ring, going after Lashley with every shred of determination that he has in him. His emotions translated very well into the match as he picked his moments to get the better of the champion. Eventually, Riddle was busted open, and he ended up losing his match on WWE RAW, but there was still a lot left in the promising Superstar.

Riddle called out to MVP and demanded a match which the latter obliged. However, their encounter ended in a disqualification after Lashley intervened and delivered a devastating spear on Riddle. The US Champion then continued to lay a vicious attack on Riddle. It is expected that both these Superstars will soon battle it out for Lashley’s title on WWE RAW. The only complain against Riddle’s current run is the forced humor that seems very out of place with his current gimmick. He is a good talker and should be allowed to say what comes naturally to him.
