In September 2023, WWE released several stars, including Mike Rallis, also known as Riddick Moss.
Rallis had been a part of the company since 2014. Following a torn ACL, he came back on SmackDown with the persona of Madcap Moss while teaming up with Baron Corbin.
During a virtual signing with Captain’s Corner, Rallis reflected on that phase of his career.
“A funny story in and of itself, maybe the favorite thing that I ever did as Madcap (Moss) was when (Baron) Corbin and I ‘injured’ Drew McIntyre and put him on the shelf for a month or so. The next week, I came out dressed as Drew. So I had been wearing the button-down shirt and the suspenders but for this one, I had to wear the kilt and I went shirtless to pretend to be Drew and make fun of Drew and I got to do the Scottish accent on TV which was like my favorite thing I’ve ever done.”
