#3 Riddle gets a shot at US Championship after defeating The Hurt Business in a Gauntlet match on RAW

The dissension among The Hurt Business members came into play during their Gauntlet match against Riddle on this week's RAW. The bout began with The Original Bro taking on one half of RAW Tag Team Champions Shelton Benjamin. Once Riddle defeated Benjamin, a minor disagreement broke between MVP and Cedric Alexander about who should enter the match next. It was MVP ultimately who entered the match, though he was tapped out just seconds later.

Cedric Alexander was the final entrant, and he had a pretty great back-and-forth with Riddle eventually coming on top via a roll-up. Post-match, US Champion Lashley brutalized the challenger. Ideally, Riddle should have won the match convincingly, as it would have made his challenge even stronger. Nevertheless, a Gauntlet match win is quite impressive and would surely give him the momentum going forward.

As for The Hurt Business, they are the most dominant faction on RAW, and it doesn't make a lot of sense to break them up as they still have so much more to achieve as a unit.
