Riddle was originally planned as the winner of the Royal Rumble before WWE decided to go with Brock Lesnar instead, according to a report by PWInsider.
The plans for the Rumble changed several times over the course of the past week before Lesnar was ultimately chosen as a surprise entrant to win.
There was also a pitch for Randy Orton to win the Rumble at one point, PWInsider says, but the front runner choice was Riddle.
