I can see Riddle just getting fed up super loving early and peacing out not giving two fucks considering that he became known in the indie circuit.

How long before he's feuding with Zigglar

How long before he's inexplicably in a zero chemistry stable with Corbin

How long until he gets ring gear with question marks all over it and starts doing brainteasers before his matches?

"QUESTION MARK! vintage"

"and yeah I'm going to beat you at summerslam and that's not riddle...that's a spoiler"

Me in the Raw thread

Kairi got hurt in a match with Nia at the tapings, per Fightful

Specific details

Fightful posted:

On day two of the WWE tapings, Fightful Select learned that an injury went down about an hour into the Raw portion of the tapings. In a match with Nia Jax and Kairi Sane, Kairi sustained a cut to her head outside of the ring. The spot occurred outside near the stairs when Kairi was thrown and her head hit the corner of the stairs, opening her up. The match was paused and medical came out to take care of Kairi Sane, sealing the wound and bandaging her up. We were told that Kairi indicated that she was fine, and insisted on finishing up the match. WWE would resume the match, which will have to be edited. Pretty quickly, Nia and Kairi Sane went to the finish.

Kairi and Nia are the worst two people to put in a match together since Kairi seems to always get injured in their matches.

Kairi gets hurt against Nia, who hurts everyone, and Charlotte who had to get her poo poo in.

I dunno if he got booed at all during his Bane cosplay heel run but when it came out that he was leaving everybody was on his side because how could you not be.

Until he did some shoots and a bunch of people decided he was a bitter baby who couldn't make it in the big leagues anyway.

In addition to Riddle, they're calling up Dijakovic apparently https://wrestletalk.com/news/identity-of-next-nxt-star-receiving-main-roster-call-up-revealed-exclusive/

"Our sources have told us that along with Matt Riddle, Dominik Dijakovic will be heading to either Raw or SmackDown in the coming weeks. While his brand is not known, the plan as of right now is to move him on from NXT in the near future.

Dijakovic’s last NXT match came on the 04/29 episode of NXT TV where he was defeated by Johnny Gargano. While it was not clear at the time, it seems as if this will be Dijakovic’s final NXT match, at least for the foreseeable future. The current belief is that Dijak has done all that there is for him to do in NXT."

Did Dijakovic do anything in NXT that was notable other than feud with Keith Lee? Those were the only matches of his I enjoyed, and I don't know if it's more of it being a Keith Lee match rather than a good Dijakovic match.

Well, at least the empty arenas mean that he'll get the crowd reaction they want

Dijakovic is a good hoss that can do flippy moves. If used right he can have some good matches, but I won't hold my breath for that on the main roster.

It was its own brand until it consistently failed against AEW in the ratings. Now it's back to losers who get to feud with dolph ziggler.

Though to be honest I think Riddle and Dominik might do fine.

I've been involved in a number of cults, both as a leader and a follower.

You have more fun as a follower. But you make more money as a leader.



How the gently caress the Dijak get called up before Keith Lee. That man is a total package who they’ve featured on two separate big 4 main roster PPVs to huge acclaim. He could easily carry the Smackdown brand until Roman returns, which would be the perfect time for a Roman heel turn and feud.

The only thing I could think of is holding him back until they have an audience to pop, but that’s too logical for WWE.

They need him to carry NXT.

Also Roman should never turn heel and never will, there was a time when it could have worked but that time is no longer.

Imagine having the best roster ever in pro wrestling to put together a solid group of 50 people that could create some must see TV. But you have to split them up among 5 different brands because they all need some sort of start or else nobody would watch them.

Remember when it was the Raw Supershow, and Raw was like the best of Raw and Smackdown stars. And then for some reason Smackdown was still separated and completely skippable? That was the last time I remember enjoying Raw.

I remember the name "RAW Supershow" being the first time I took an active notice in how sterile and uninspired their branding had become.
