Alex Riley was on WWE TV quite often a year ago after turning on The Miz and starting a singles run. He has since been appearing less and less and usually not booked well. There are times when he works Superstars matches but for the most part, he has not been featured.
The push was reportedly ended because of an incident with John Cena several months ago. One sources notes Cena was ribbing Riley in front of other wrestlers and Riley became upset. When he reacted in an angry manner, this was looked at as “breaking the locker room code” among the wrestlers.
