WWE - Alex Riley Should Get Revenge on Big Show

On the May 28th episode of Monday Night RAW,  Alex Riley was seen backstage smooth-talking Eve... that is, until the Big Show slammed him into a nearby wall.

Many fans were excited to have him back on TV after not seeing him for quite some time.

However, it looks like the WWE is only using Riley as a human punching bag nowadays and this segment certainly shows it.

Surprisingly, this actually got Alex Riley trending worldwide on Twitter as lots of fans tweeted about him.
Go #AlexRiley!

Ever since he attacked his heel mentor, the Miz, and became face, he has become a fan-favorite. The feud has given him tons of positive reaction and should have catapulted him to the top of the company, but WWE quickly pulled the plug on him. Why?

I mean, this guy has the strength, charisma, mic skills, and persona to be one of the top faces in the company alongside the likes of John Cena. The problem could be his decent but sometimes sloppy in-ring performance... which is why many fans assumed that Riley was relegated to jobber status in order for him to improve his wrestling skills.

It is rumored that WWE was worried that the Miz could have gotten injured by Riley's sloppy performance, so they decided not to risk any future injuries and aborted Riley's big push.

However, it's been over one year now and after a losing streak of 14 matches, I think it's time for Alex Riley to rise to the top once again. After being attacked by the Big Show, the guy should seek revenge. The next time Big Show goes after John Cena and has the upper hand, Riley should attack Big Show to get some payback.

WWE's habit of inserting Cena into the main event almost every week and every Pay Per View is very stale. Why not mix it up and add Riley to the storyline?

After No Way Out 2012, he could feud with the Big Show on his own without Cena in the picture, thus giving Riley a chance to shine once again like he did against the Miz. To make this worthwhile, there should be one of those long brawls between the two that starts in the ring, outside the ring, into the crowd, backstage, and outside the building. If done correctly, this feud could definitely get Riley over and one step further in his long journey to hopefully become a United States champion and then WWE or World Heavyweight champion.

WWE - Big Show's Heel Turn Explanation Needs Some Work


After the Over the Limit 2012 pay per view, the Big Show explained his actions for attacking John Cena and helping Mr. Laurinaitis win the match.

He told everyone that he loves his job in the WWE and he had to whatever it took in order to get re-hired. He also said that if anyone was in his shoes they would do the same thing.

I agree with this, but Big Show would eventually get his job back if John Cena defeated Laurinaitis and the WWE could put a better General Manager in charge. Maybe Teddy Long...or even Edge! Anyone nicer than Laurinaitis would most likely hire back the Big Show.

Instead, we have John Cena losing at Over the Limit and People Power still in place. Sure, Big Show got his job back (plus a huge bonus), but he aligned himself with Mr. Laurinaitis against the entire WWE universe. Why?


He claimed that everyone in the WWE and all the fans didn't care about him when he was fired. He showed footage of Brodus Clay dancing with kids in the ring, the segment that happened right after the job firing. Everyone was having fun without Big Show. This was enough for him to believe that his fans just moved on so easily like nothing happened.

As for the locker room, no one tried to confront Laurinaitis and demand that Big Show be re-hired. Especially not even John Cena, the top face of the company. He was one of Big Show's best friends and he let him down. To support this, Big Show then showed the footage of Cena acting like Jim Carrey and calling Mr. Laurinaitis a loser, or should I say, "LOOOOSEEERRR." The crowd was certainly enjoying it and laughed like crazy. But not Big Show. This just made him more upset.

I can see how these pieces of evidence explains why Big Show turned heel. However, they are not sufficient. He has not told us why he continues to side with Mr. People Power Laurinaitis... the man who put Big Show through so much pain and suffering... the man who FIRED Big Show in the first place. 

There is no need to help Laurinaitis anymore. Big Show already got his job back. He is done with him. Why continue hanging out with a man that humuliated you? Just remember not to mess with Mr. Laurinaitis ever again. As for the heel turn, he can be a heel and hate the WWE universe on his own. Big Show doesn't need to be seen helping or being helped by ANYONE, but HIMSELF and him alone... because he is, after all, the BIG SHOW.
