Matt Riddle:"I was suppose to win 2022 Royal Rumble" (PG 33)

[The Rick Jericho]

It's interesting. Hasn't he been written out of television at least one other time this year, if not two times?

I guess his character just isn't strong enough to survive some down periods of WWE TV.

Maybe a new gimmick is needed?

[Cyno]

Is it covering for a legit injury or reason? Because that's oddly long for kayfabe.

[Legion]

Just need an excuse to have him 'return' for a Rumble pop

Oddly long and specific

[Captain Stud Muffin (BLM)]

His momentum has slowed down a lot since the feud with Seth so the long break wouldn't be too bad to reset his batteries and get the Rumble pop

Still waiting on a heel turn for him at some point. Think he would be money in that role

His personal life has not been going well in recent years if one follows all the rumors. He may just want some time off around the holidays to sort some things out and spend time with family.

Wellness?

If Orton comes back then Riddle should be the one to turn

I mean Raquel got her arm broken by Shayna & Ronda and she’s still been showing up every week.

It's probably best to get him off TV as his stock has gone down a bit since the Rollins feud. Maybe send him over to Smackdown when he returns in January.

The specific timetable probably means a surprise Royal Rumble return where he feuds with Solo.

Shotzi’s getting the six week holiday too.

She just wants to hang out with Brandi more.

[Non Banjoble Tokens]

Riddle and SHotzi are going on vacation together. You heard it here at FAN first, folks.

Might as well call it the Royal Rumble Holiday.

As my theory that Matt Riddle is actually Santa Claus grows ever stronger.

I would like them for once to have neither guy betray the other. Especially if Orton's career is winding down. After all the evil he's done in his career, his last story being him making a friend and finding a bit of humanity would be kind of cool

Feel like this should at least be put here.

Good to see some mud raking going on. Always classy. Totally in the interest of the public and those kids to have their parents dealings all over the web for them, their classmates any other weirdo to easily reference and utilise in anyway in the future. Good job there David, well done.
