For those who aren’t aware, Riley signed for WWE in 2007 and was part of FCW. He debuted on TV as part of the NXT game show in 2010, with former WWE Champion The Miz as his mentor.
Riley’s last WWE match came in May 2016 when he was defeated by Shinsuke Nakamura. He has not wrestled for another promotion since leaving the company. However, he did say on Instagram last year that he is planning to return to the ring.
