It's been nearly six months since Riddle's move to the main roster, and the King of Bros as endured a topsy-turvy ride following a successful WWE NXT stint.

Riddle is presently a RAW Superstar and en route towards United States Championship match against Bobby Lashley.

Dave Meltzer revealed in the latest Wrestling Observer Newsletter that Riddle's WWE contract would end in August.

It was also reported that the WWE is already working towards locking down Riddle for the next three years. The company has a three-year deal worth $1.2 million on the table, with an additional $50,000 bonus for every Saudi Arabia show that he attends.

It was added that Riddle has 'pretty much' agreed to terms for a new deal, and he would stand to gain $400,000 per year.

Meltzer reported the following:

The company is working on locking down Riddle, whose contract is up in August. It's said he's pretty much agreed to terms for a three-year deal at $400,000 per year guaranteed plus $50,000 for every show in Saudi Arabia.

It was also revealed that Vince McMahon doesn't fully understand Riddle's 'Bro gimmick,' but the WWE Boss finds the former NXT Superstar's vignettes hilarious.

The story is that Vince doesn't understand his bro gimmick but loves the vignettes he's doing as he finds them hilarious. Unfortunately, that's R-Truth territory as far as lower card comedy positioning.

Riddle is reportedly penciled in to face Bobby Lashley for the US Title at the Royal Rumble PPV.
