Okay, so I saw this thing online about Riddle, the WWE wrestler, and why he doesn’t wear shoes. I was like, “What? Seriously?” I’ve seen him wrestle a few times, and yeah, the dude is always barefoot. I gotta figure this out.
First thing I did was fire up the trusty search engine. Just typed in “riddle wwe no shoes”. Boom! Tons of stuff popped up.
I started clicking around, mostly wrestling forums and news sites, and a general idea started forming. It seemed like there were a couple of main explanations floating around.
- His MMA Background: Some folks were saying it’s because he used to be an MMA fighter. Apparently, in MMA, you obviously fight barefoot. So, the theory was that he’s just more comfortable without shoes, like it’s a habit he can’t break.
- His “Chill” Persona: Other people pointed to his whole “laid-back surfer dude” character. He’s always super relaxed, and going barefoot just fits that vibe, you know? Like, shoes are too restricting for his free spirit or something.
- The “Original Bro” gimmick:It’s also part of his gimmick and original character.
I kept digging, trying to find something straight from the horse’s mouth, you know, like an interview with Riddle himself. I found a few older articles where he talked about it,and those articles help explain the real reason.
So, I hit up some wrestling news sites, like I mentioned and found an article where he was talking about it.
Turns out, it’s a mix of reasons! He did say the MMA thing played a part – he’s just super used to being barefoot. But he also said it’s about his character, that whole “Original Bro” thing. Going barefoot makes him stand out, and it fits his chill personality.
My conclusion
So, basically, after all this digging, it feels like it’s a mix of practical reasons and character stuff. Riddle is used to being barefoot from his MMA days, and it also works perfectly with his laid-back, “Original Bro” persona in WWE. Mystery solved, I guess! It wasn’t some crazy secret, just a combination of comfort and good character work. Makes sense to me!
