Trending
Riddle has been chasing the Evolve championship for a better part of two years. The arrogant and dickish Zack Sabre Jr. beat Timothy Thatcher for the title, the man Riddle failed to beat thrice.
At the centre of all this is Riddle's low-key tension with management and their rules for rope breaks.
In many ways the narrative took fascinating turns with Sabre pushing Riddle to his limit, making him unwillingly go towards the rope until finally, he had to search for the rope break he hates so much.
With body parts reaching an alarming red, Riddle pulled out all he could to match hold for a hold against Sabre and finally put him away.
Sabre is the perfect villainous foil and moving away from Evolve will be huge for him. For Riddle, this is just the beginning of a fruitful reign.
Result: Matt Riddle locks the bro mission to make Sabre tap out and finally win to become the NEW Evolve World Champion!
