A few weeks ago, a story broke out claiming that the reason for Alex Riley's depush was because of a backstage incident with John Cena.
Soon after the story breaks, Riley starts putting out these videos on Tout, and with a new catchphrase/slogan "Keep it Real", supposedly implying that snapping at Cena is an example of "When Keeping It Real Goes Wrong." In terms of actual video output, I think he's one of the top Touters in the company.
Riley starts winning more often at House Shows, gets a dark main event at an NXT taping against The Big Show, and then he gets a match on RAW for the first time, and then wins against Dolph Ziggler (I actually think it should be a yearly tradition that Ziggler jobs to a jobber around this time of year). Riley follows that victory up with a Superstars victory over McIntyre and a dark match victory over the heavily-protected Jinder Mahal who is currently in a feud with Ryback (if that's still going).
Looking at the bigger picture, it seemed as though this NEWZ story was the best thing to happen to A-Ry. He used the rumor to his advantage and created a new gimmick and racked up a few wins in the process.
