As expected, Matt Riddle was shown on camera during the NXT Taakeover: Brooklyn 4 show on Saturday night.
For weeks, Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter has been reporting that he was WWE-bound. It’s a reversal from their stance from just a few months ago because they were not open to signing him due to his openness about his marijuana use and because two drug test failures for marijuna led to his UFC release.
Riddle has been compared by many to Kerry Von Erich. He is very good in the ring, especially considering that he’s only been wrestling for a couple of years. New Japan Pro Wrestling was also interested in signing him but apparently WWE had the better offer.
Riddle is expected to be a part of the next set of TV tapings.
