Riddle is being rumored to be getting a new character, so we’ll see what’s going on
there.
We’ll also check out what’s going on with Roman Reigns, The Bloodline, and much more
Let’s start things off with Riddle and what’s being rumored there for him
So for the majority of Matt Riddle’s time in WWE, he’s had the same sort of laid back,
easy going sort of character and persona
The character has been a hit and has led him to lots of great success and great moments
in his WWE career, such as his tag team run with Randy Orton and forming team RKO
And Matt Riddle has also had his fair share of moments where he did put his foot down
and got more serious
But fans have always wondered if we’ll ever see a permanent more serious side of Matt
Riddle stick around
And we may be getting closer and closer to that possibility
There’s some reports and rumors going around that Matt Riddle may be getting a new character
change to be more serious
This rumor started from the April 14th edition of Smackdown
This edition of Smackdown saw Solo Sikoa and Matt Riddle finishing off what started between
them several months ago
It was back in December where Solo Sikoa unleashed a brutal beatdown on Matt Riddle that kept
him out of the ring for four entire months
So this was Riddle’s shot to get back at Solo Sikoa, but as we all know, Matt Riddle’s
attempt was unsuccessful and he suffered a loss to Solo Sikoa
But similar to December, Solo Sikoa took things to the next level with Matt Riddle
Solo Sikoa followed up the victory over Riddle with another post match beatdown on Matt Riddle
Solo topped the post match beatdown off by burying Matt Riddle under the commentary table
Usually when someone gets buried under the commentary table in that fashion, it’s usually
followed up by that person missing some time from WWE television to sell the effect of
the attack
But considering that Matt Riddle just came break after several months away, fans don’t
expect Riddle to be written off already again, but there are rumors and reports about what
could come from Riddle being buried under the table
The rumor is that Solo’s post match attack on Matt Riddle could be leading towards a
full eventual character change for Riddle
The change that’s being rumored is that Matt Riddle could possibly drop everything
from his old character and just be presented in a new completely light with a brand new
serious personality and character
Like we mentioned before, the current version of Matt Riddle’s character was a hit with
fans and was very popular
But like some fans have pointed out, if Matt Riddle is going to take that next leap and
enter the main event scene, he could really benefit from a more serious character and
persona
So a lot of fans are very interested in seeing what a new serious version of Riddle could
look like and how his career could benefit from it
There’s still no confirmed word on if this is actually happening or not, but it’s a
big rumor that’s been spreading like crazy and it does have fans intrigued to see how
it could turn out
So we’ll have to see if Matt Riddle could possibly go through a character change sometime
during this current storyline with The Bloodline
———————-
Speaking of The Bloodline, some fans have started to become a bit more critical of the
story’s direction
There’s plenty of fans saying that Raw and Smackdown have featured very similar endings
over the last few weeks
The closing shot of these editions of Raw and Smackdown have been always ending with
Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens having a stare-down with The Usos and Solo Sikoa
After this same exact ending took place three times in a row across Raw and Smackdown, fans
started to voice their displeasures with the repetitiveness of the story
Fans also pointed out how it feels like Solo Sikoa has been in the main event for the last
few editions of Raw and Smackdown against either Kevin Owens, Sami Zayn, or Matt Riddle
And what the fans are pointing out here technically is true
Raw and Smackdown’s main events over the last few weeks have solely focused on different
versions and variants of Sami Zayn, Kevin Owens, and Matt Riddle versus The Usos and
Solo Sikoa
And fans appear to be reaching their breaking point over seeing the same similar endings
to every single edition of Raw and Smackdown
So it’s something the fans have pointed out and it’ll be interesting to see if this
theme continues, will we continue to see Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn have their stare downs
with The Bloodline at the end of every single show?
Some fans are saying that Wrestlemania was the perfect finale for Sami Zayn and Kevin
Owens versus The Bloodline, so why is it still happening?
Isn’t it starting to drag?
Well yes and no.
Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens did have their big win at Wrestlemania, but The Usos were the
longest reigning tag team champions of all time, so you know that they do deserve a rematch,
so you gotta continue the story just for a little at least
And not to mention that Roman Reigns isn’t really around right now, so it’s pretty
much the same issue since 2022, there’s no world champion on either brand
that’s obviously the biggest missing piece here, so the undisputed tag team titles feud
is basically serving as the main event ‘world title’ program on WWE television at the
moment
And some fans just feel like that specific story between The Usos versus Sami Zayn and
Kevin Owens has gone on for way too long at this point
Even Kevin Owens said it a few weeks back, he wants to be done with The Bloodline and
move on
So for everyone that’s kind of burnt out on this story, their rematch is just a few
weeks away and that should really signify the end to the entire Kevin Owens, Sami Zayn,
and Bloodline saga
Assuming Kevin and Sami retains against The Usos, they’re likely to move on and face
new and upcoming threats in the tag team division
While The Usos will likely continue their drama and tension with Roman Reigns and The
Bloodline
Because if The Usos regain their titles, that basically eliminates all the tension that’s
between them and Roman Reigns right now
That’s why it seems like the right move would be for The Usos to lose that title match,
so that we can continue to really see how Roman is losing patience with them and continue
to take that story to the next level
As Paul Heyman has hinted at several times on Smackdown over the last few weeks, it definitely
seems like The Usos are no where near being on good terms with Roman Reigns right now
that’s why dropping that tag team title match would really kick things off with this
potential civil war storyline within The Bloodline
So that appears to be the new stories and directions that are coming up for both teams
of Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn and The Usos
As far as the latest goes with Roman Reigns, it appears that his next scheduled title defense
will be at Night Of Champions on May 27th
This is also the same day that Roman Reigns will surpass one thousand days as WWE Universal
Champion
So as expected, it looks like it’ll be smooth sailing and Roman Reigns will easily coast
himself past that one thousand day mark
And fans don’t really expect it to end there, fans feel like the next time Roman Reigns
may actually face a huge challenge could be Wrestlemania 40
So he may cruise all the way until Wrestlemania season in 2024 as the Universal champion
And if he does that, he’s officially breaking some of the longest title reigns in WWE history
If Roman is still champion deep into Wrestlemania 40 season, he will surpass Bruno’s first
title reign from the 70s of 1237 days
And he’ll also likely pass Hulk Hogan’s title reigns from the 80s of 1474 days
And it may seem absolutely insane, but fans are starting to wonder if Roman could even
surpass Bruno’s other title reign of 2803 days
In order for Roman to break the number one longest title reign in WWE history, he will
have to hold the universal title deep into spring time of 2028
So it sounds insane to discuss, but it’s something that fans are starting to be curious
about
