Should Remain in NXT #5: Matt Riddle

While much of the world's attention was focused upon Ronda Rousey and her pro wrestling debut, Matt Riddle was quietly building a reputation for having transitioned between MMA to sports entertainment with great aplomb.

Riddle's "King of Bros" gimmick and barefoot stylings set him apart from other former MMA fighters turned wrestlers, who tend to be portrayed as more serious characters. Riddle also worked very hard on his in-ring skills, because he wanted to be just as good or better in wrestling than he was in MMA.

Riddle hasn't been wrestling for very long, but he's already been a champion in multiple promotions. Does this mean he's ready for the main roster?

Why he should remain on NXT: Riddle is a future superstar, a potential main event talent for Wrestlemania, but he still needs some seasoning and time to fully flex his creative muscles with his king of bros character.

There you have it; Five NXT stars who are ready to move up to the main roster, and five who should remain on the black and yellow brand. Who would you like to see move up to Raw or Smackdown? Please comment and let us know and as always thanks for reading!
