“Right now there’s another guy that’s stumbling into that situation (as the “Next Big Thing”),” said Hogan. “You know, acting like he doesn’t know what’s going on but he’s smart as hell.
“That’s the ‘Bro’, Riddle, who kicks his flip-flops off when he comes into the ring. I’ve been watching him and he’s really got good instincts,” explained Hogan. “He’s really got a good aptitude for understanding what needs to be done, you know.”
The former WWE Champion previously named Kevin Owens as the “next big thing” and now seems to have his mind on Riddle. As the big face of WWE during the 80s, Hulk Hogan recognizes stardom.
Riddle has been growing rapidly on WWE Raw

While Riddle does look like HBK, he has an attitude of a young Chris Jericho which will have to change. Many Hall of Famers such as Goldberg do not appreciate his direct comments on them.
Riddle has shown little remorse to this effect and continues to be himself which is important. Vince McMahon will attempt to tweak him and there won’t be any surprises when Riddle does in fact become the “next big thing”.
