Almost all the live event results I read on wrestling sites, the person will talk about an Alex Riley match and say 'he got a good reaction from the crowd'. If he is getting reactions without even being on tv then image in creative actually gave him something for once. Even if he did reportedly speak put against Cena, he should still be given a chance. His theme music is great, I know he might not be that good in the ring. but if Cena is a 10 plus World Title Holder..than annything is possible. Not knocking Cena or Riley (with my first comment), as I am a very vocal Cena supporter, I see alot of his in-ring style back in 2002-04 in Riley in-ring style. If they were willing to give Cena a chance, Riley can do it. The guy (by the looks of Twitter) beats the company drum as loudly as any lower mid-carder can. Give him something to work with, and I'm sure he'll shine.

Now some people are irritated that Cena got the coverage on wwe.com and Alex Riley didn't.

I'm a fan of both but blaming Cena for everything … *rolls eyes*

Any body think rileys’ push has been held back due to him needin surgery?
- Joey
  
  It's been reportedly nixed due to him lashing out at Cena for ribbing him.

    Everyone that knows anything about Cena knows he doesn't do that crap…
