#2 Riddle wins the Gauntlet Match on WWE RAW; Cedric Alexander impresses

WWE RAW hosted a Gauntlet Match for Riddle on this week’s show. The Hurt Business’ MVP, Cedric Alexander, and Shelton Benjamin came out for a match against Riddle on RAW.

Benjamin was the first man to enter the ring with Riddle and tried to dominate the former MMA fighter. While Benjamin could have taken down Riddle early, an interference from Alexander took the opportunity away from him. Riddle was soon able to put away his first opponent.

MVP entered next and fell prey to a heel hook that forced the veteran to tap out. Riddle advanced to the final round of the Gauntlet Match where Alexander entered the ring. The former WWE Cruiserweight Champion proved to be the most impressive of the lot and took the fight to Riddle.

While Alexander stood the best chance of taking down the former NXT Tag Team Champion, Riddle rolled him up to pick up another victory and book a date with Bobby Lashley. After the match, Lashley beat down Riddle to send a clear message to his future opponent.

Having Riddle pick up roll-up victories is rather odd. However, the match was good and continued to show the tension between the members of The Hurt Business. Alexander did a great job in the match and showcased his potential once again.
