Could We See Alex Riley Come Back to Wrestling Full Time?

Wrestling fans were treated to a surprise at Create a Pro's Holiday Toy Drive event when former WWE Superstar Alex Riley made a one-off appearance for the promotion/training school. Teaming up with NWA Worlds Heavyweight Champion Tyrus, Riley helped defeat Jack Tomlinson and Dante Drago in a tag team match.

While it's not clear if this appearance will lead to a full-time return to the ring for Riley, it's clear that he still has the skills and talent to make an impact in the wrestling world. Despite being a little rusty after a long absence from the ring, Riley was able to utilize his size and strength to overpower his opponents and put on a strong performance.

Riley appeared on ‘The Tyrus and Timpf Podcast’, where he spoke about the match:

“I clearly had some rust on me and I wanted to be in a little bit better shape but I was grateful to be out there man and I was really grateful to be in front of people and God bless you [Tyrus] for walking out there with me man. It was cool.”

Fans of Riley will no doubt be excited to see him back in the ring, and we can't wait to see what the future holds for him. It would make a ton of sense for him to join the NWA where Tyrus is the World Champion. Whether he decides to join the NWA full-time or continues to make occasional appearances, there's no doubt that he will continue to make an impact in the wrestling world. I think an offer from the promotion would mark a ton of sense.

Book This Episode 1: The Summer of Punk Rebooked Prelude

Let’s go back to 2011, specifically June of 2011. CM Punk’s contract is expiring soon and he’s getting ready to have the biggest run of his career. On June 27th, 2011 CM Punk would cut a promo that would have the wrestling world buzzing for years to come. In his promo, Punk said that his contract expired next month and that he, the Number One Contender, would be leaving WWE with the WWE Championship. He’d also go onto take shots at not only his opponent the following month, John Cena but other icons in the history of WWE. Whether employed by the company or not. He’d also tease defending his WWE Championship in Ring of Honor and New Japan Pro Wrestling. Essentially he’d be a travelling World Champion, ala the territory days. Well, CM Punk did win the WWE Championship the next month from John Cena at Money in the Bank. However, what would happen after would disappoint wrestling fans more than anything else that’s happened in years. How they bungled this storyline, I’m not ent
