I know this section is being used for Wrestlemania hype, but it still is the home of NXT discussion. He lost to Titus O'Neil this week. Why are WWE so hesitant to put this guy on SmackDown for example?
Yes, I know he's bad in the ring, but he's better than Mahal, Khali, Mason Ryan etc, and his mic skills are probably in the top 5 of WWE (inb4 I get flamed, he's very good). He has the look, I saw him as a Miz who looks like a tough guy.
When Miz put him over last year, did you see how over Riley was? He was drafted to SmackDown, appeared in the opening segment the first SD after the draft and hasn't been seen since. On SmackDown there's no pressure of messing up since it's taped, why not have him develop himself there into a couple feuds. Turn him heel and have him turn on someone like Santino, a guy who's incredibly over but won't be holding a title anytime soon.
Then when Rhodes loses the IC title to go into the main-event, have Riley feud with the new face. Ugh!!
