* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: An incident on a 2021 episode of RAW involved Riddle seemingly forgetting his lines during a skit with [[Wrestling/KanakoUrai Asuka]]. It's often assumed to be a botch, but some suspect that Riddle was scripted to say something racist, and he refused to follow through with it when the moment came. His line as he rides off on his scooter can support either version of events.

Regardless of whether the affair is a work or a shoot, and despite Goldberg being far from a wholly liked figure himself, the fact that a former UFC fighter was boasting about attacking a 50-year-old man who's never been a professional fighter ended up turning a lot of people against Riddle, who was supposedly a babyface wrestler at the time.

* DesignatedHero: Both among fans and detractors, there's the perception that Riddle acts too much as a heel in social media despite being booked as a babyface, which isn't helped by reports (rather confirmed by his own tweets, to rub salt into the wound) that he's difficult to work with in real life despite being very popular with fans. His own personal life and story with Candy Cartwright (as well as his own wife Lisa's story with Wrestling/BeckyLynch) only made it even more controversial to fully side with him even as a wrestler.

* BrokenBase: While fans and pundits are unanimous Riddle turned out a beast of a wrestler in his transition from MMA, his character and booking are much more divisive. Some like him for being a funnily stereotypical stoner fratboy, while others find him an unpleasant jerk with a too punchable face, and a third camp doesn't find anything wrong with him but believe he should be booked as a heel as soon as possible.
