# 1: Matt Riddle

Were you expecting anybody else? The King of Bros was one of the most sought-after stars on the independent circuit prior to his arrival in NXT at NXT Takeover: Brooklyn IV.
What makes Riddle special is the fact that he is a former UFC star holding an 8-4 record inside the octagon. One of the brightest Lightweight prospects in the UFC, Riddle was destined for greatness but his turbulent relationship with UFC President Dana White and insistence on living a certain lifestyle put an early end to that.
Riddle would then move on to the world of professional wrestling and wow wrestling fans with his unique mannerisms and incredible athletic ability.
Riddle signed with WWE a few months ago but he hasn't appeared on NXT TV yet. If rumours are to be believed, the King of Bros is pencilled into square off against Kassuis Ohno at NXT Takeover: WarGames which might just be his NXT TV debut as he has already worked some live events for the yellow brand.
Matt Riddle is a sure-shot NXT champion in the future and has all the needed to succeed in the WWE. If you think that he won't be the NXT Champion in the future, the question we'll ask you is ' What is wrong with you, Bro?
