Riddle is about to take on the biggest challenge of his career
Riddle's main roster run in WWE has been a big hit so far. He made his way to SmackDown about two years ago, and has done quite well for himself on the main roster since then. With his big win over Sami Zayn, he earned an opportunity at Roman Reigns' Undisputed WWE Universal title. This will be the biggest match of Riddle's professional wrestling career.
With two consecutive wins over Seth Rollins, he has made it clear that he will go to great lengths to take the Undisputed WWE Universal title from The Tribal Chief on SmackDown. It certainly won't be an easy task for him to take down Reigns, though. The Head Of The Table has been WWE's strongest entity for about two years now. He has put down some of the biggest names in the business, including Brock Lesnar, John Cena, Edge, and Daniel Bryan.
As for Riddle's in-ring history with Rollins, The King of Bros boasts an impressive 3-0 record against him in singles competition. Their first-ever singles encounter took place on the February 7, 2022 episode of RAW, with Rollins losing via a DQ.
It remains to be seen if Riddle manages to take advantage of his current momentum in his upcoming title match against Roman Reigns. If he ends up defeating The Tribal Chief, it will certainly be deemed as one of the biggest upsets in recent memory.
