I haven't seen much of Riddle, but what I have I do like. I like how hard-hitting and explosive he works, all juxtaposed against his laid-back demeanour. Great look, too. He'd be a great fit in NXT. That being said, while WWE's attitude towards approaching him may have changed, there's no way it's happening without strict adherence to the wellness policy. If they want him, they're still going to insist that he quits smoking up.

I do recall Riddle saying that he's also not necessarily interested in WWE, either. He claims to earn six figures a year and is quite content with his lifestyle. Frankly, good for him. If he's comfortable and making a good living, why would he want to give up a part of himself. Then again, maybe his attitude towards pot is a long-game in getting WWE to drop big incentives in their offer to him, and if so, once more, good for him.
