There hasn't been a more outspoken person that has wanted a shot at Brock Lesnar in recent memory than The Original Bro himself. The former MMA fighter turned professional wrestler has excited crowds in every arena that he has ever been in. However, no moment for him at this point in his career would be bigger than standing across from Lesnar in the Royal Rumble.

Matt Riddle has teased a potential entry into the Rumble match, saying so much as he may do something that many people wouldn't like if he's not in the match. He is currently in a tag team with Pete Dunne in the Dusty Rhodes Classic tournament.

They advanced to the final of the tournament where the duo will be facing the Grizzled Young Veterans next week on NXT. One thing is for sure, if he does enter the Royal Rumble match and fans do see him stand across from The Beast Incarnate it will be a moment that the WWE Universe nor Riddle will forget.

Unlike Ciampa however, I wouldn't see Riddle staying in NXT with a victory, instead I would see him challenging Brock Lesnar for the title.
