Have you heard this interview with current SmackDown superstar Matt Riddle on Sportskeeda's YouTube channel? If you haven't, please take a minute after you're done reading this article to check it out because it's definitely worth a listen, in my personal opinion at least.

Matt Riddle will be going into the biggest match of his life on SmackDown this week when he takes on AJ Styles in a singles match for the Intercontinental Championship. Of course, there's a chance that WWE will go all the way with the Matt Riddle push on SmackDown and so, I wouldn't be surprised if they actually decide to put the Intercontinental Championship around his waist.

SmackDown is more the "worker's" show than RAW is right now, and it always has been, in my personal opinion at least. RAW has always been the more 'sports entertainment' show and so Matt Riddle should have a variety of opponents to face if he does become the Champion this week on SmackDown.
