It's hard to believe that Matt Riddle only started his pro wrestling career less than 4 years ago when you look at his accomplishments in such a short span of time.

One of the most in-demand pro wrestlers on the independents today, Riddle has had impressive bouts with some of the top stars around the world and has become a mainstay in promotions such as EVOLVE, PWG and Progress (where he is, to date, the only two-time Progress Atlas Champion in history).

Riddle brings a unique clash of his MMA background (a former fighter for UFC) and technical prowess to the ring but it's his charismatic and likeable personality which have won the hearts of wrestling fans across the globe.

At only 32, Riddle hopefully has a long career ahead of him and one can only imagine what the WWE machine can do with him especially in NXT where his unique hybrid style can be introduced to WWE fans.

Here's hoping Vince and Hunter have their fingers on the pulse and we will soon hear 'Bro' chants in the WWE very soon.
