At NXT Takeover: Brooklyn IV, “The King of Bros” officially silenced the wrestling world by confirming that he will be taking his next step in wrestling on the big stage: WWE.
Riddle seamlessly transitioned from mixed martial arts to professional wrestling and became one of the hottest wrestlers on the independent scene. Riddle is a former Evolve Champion, along with being a former Pro Wrestling Guerrilla (PWG) World Tag Team Champion with Jeff Cobb, a WWN Champion and a Progress Atlas Champion.
PROGRESS Wrestling has now announced that Matt Riddle's final indie match will be against Mark Haskins. Once he’s finished, Riddle will be starting with WWE NXT after the PROGRESS show in England on Sunday, September 30.
