Mike Rallis, formerly known as Riddick Moss, looks back on his time in WWE.
Rallis signed a developmental deal with WWE in 2014. He eventually arrived on the main roster in 2020, as he was briefly paired with Mojo Rawley before they split up. Moss won the WWE 24/7 Championship and later returned on Raw Underground. After he tore his ACL, he had a prominent run on SmackDown as Madcap Moss alongside Baron Corbin. They later feuded and split up. Moss won the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal, but WWE released him in September 2023.
During a virtual signing with Captain's Corner, Riddick Moss was asked to recall the feeling when he first got called up and whether WWE told him what direction he was going. He noted that there was very little direction when he first joined the main roster.
"The first time I got called up, it was like very little direction. It was all, it kind of happened to where, long story short, I kind of just got called up because you didn’t have anything for me in NXT. When I went up, that first day I had no idea what I was doing. They were like, ‘You’re gonna be with Mojo,’ then I was his bodyguard, and then two weeks later, I turned on him, and then we did this really fun shoot in a toy factory, Funko toy factory, and I had basically no direction for what my character was. So I kind of just decided to be an arrogant 24/7 Champion and kind of just started saying some of the stuff I would say in promo class as Riddick Moss. It was really fun, and I felt like I was building some momentum, then COVID hit and that kind of put a stop to everything for a while," Moss said.
Moss then recalled how he had fun during the Raw Underground chapter of his career, but he tore his ACL. He stated that he had more direction upon his return as Madcap Moss. Riddick made it clear that he enjoyed this run, as it was very goofy.
"Then I came back as Raw Underground Riddick Moss, which was also super fun. Totally different than what I was doing before. Then right as that was kind of taking off, I tore my ACL. Then, when I came back later, the next time, that was where I did a lot of direction, where that was Madcap Moss. That was a lot of direction, but I still had to make it my own. But you can’t imagine how much fun that was. I could do whatever I wanted because it was just so goofy," he said.
