Riley

His ring work is fine, it's not brilliant but it's entertaining, and he's got immense natural charisma and a great look. WWE have been wasting him whilst they push fat, talentless cunts like Brodus Clay and Tensai instead.

Definitely deserves it. Dude is charismatic as fuck, nobody can deny it. Pretty sure there was a nice pop for his win like, "DAMN, HE WON?".

Yeah I'm sick of him being a jobber, he's a great talent. I'd love to see a heel turn and push.

I marked at his win. He should be holding the US title, but preferably as a heel.

He's awesome. He has a top face after he turned on Miz.

Yup, I seriously was like "WTF he actually won a match?".

I just want to see him get pushed. I'd rather he get pushed as a face. His overness would be wasted if they made him a heel.

It's too bad they de-pushed him. Riley beating Ziggler shouldn't be considered an upset. The two of them should've been feuding and chasing each other up the card like The Rock & HHH did. I think Riley & Ziggler would be a better fit as arch-rivals than Riley & Miz or Ziggler & Ryder.

Out of all the faces Ziggler could lose to, WWE picked Riley, a guy who hasn't been relevant in a year. It's bizarre, non-sensical booking and a rib on Ziggler.

He's not getting a push. Just like Tyson Kidd isn't getting one. They just needed someone irrelevant to knock Ziggler down a few notches.

Would be nice for them to play on the fact he's from DC, and with it being election year, give him the name Alexander Riley, and give him a corrupt politician gimmick.

How would he be a politician if he has no political power or experience whatsoever? Do you people just think of gimmicks randomly? What next, Ryback is gay? John Cena is a plumber? Daniel Bryan herds goats?

Meh I got a feeling they will try to rush Zigglers cash in and maybe even have Sheamus beat him back at the re-match clause. Sheamus will most likely have a big feud with Wade Barrett, Orton, and Del Rio moving forward.

Sadly, this. John Cena whined to Vince McMahon and got him depushed to a Superstars jobber, his career is OVER, he'll never get a push again. It's one of the biggest wastes I've ever seen, but it is what it is.

Even with this win, they made him look like absolute shit.

To be fair he comes across as pretty gay for Goldberg to me.

The guy is boring and the definition of an FCW clone, he's on the Johnny Curtis level of jobber (up until now anyways). Having Ziggler lose to him was a waste, a future world champ beaten by some lower card guy via roll up? Please no, Riley is like the default create-a-character template guy you start out with in the WWE video games when you wanna make your own superstar, he's THAT boring.

I wish they'd at least make him a U.S. title contender.

Such a waste. Riley was green in the ring, but was good on the mic, had the look and is INSANELY charismatic.

Ha, so everyone is back to thinking the guy is great?

Vince would be even more rich if that was the case, I agree with his ring skills being shit but hes not boring he entertains me and the majority of people here and hes over with the crowds which is an amazing feat taking into account how hes booked.
