#5 Reason Matt Riddle is going to SmackDown

Former NXT Tag-Team Champion Matt Riddle is all set to get his main roster call-up, and if reports are to be believed the Original Bro will be moving to SmackDown.

This move to the blue brand surprised many fans as it was expected that Paul Heyman would be interested in Riddle and hence he would likely be called up to Monday Night RAW. So what could be the reason for him not going to RAW?

The answer could be that Brock Lesnar genuinely disliked Riddle and WWE does not want any issue happening backstage between the two. Here is what Dave Meltzer noted on Wrestling Observer:

That's a weird one. There's a couple of things. Number 1, Lesnar does dislike him and there's that political situation there. So, that's the only thing I can think of, maybe other than Prichard maybe wanting him. He got AJ and he got Matt Riddle. I mean that's like a pretty good 1-2 punch. We'll see how it works.
