Former UFC fighter Matt Riddle is all set to participate in the WWE tryout next month in Orlando. The 29-year-old wrestler has been training in the world famous Monster Factory since last year. Matt who is 6’2 and weighs 225 pounds has also worked on independent shows. Riddle’s wife Lisa who had been a gymnast at Louisiana State University has also been training with him but we have no updates on whether she will also be giving the trial as well.
In a recent conference, Matt Riddle talked about quitting MMA for Pro Wrestling. He commented that his five-month journey with pro wrestling has been great so far and he is enjoying it. Riddle said that though he is currently focussing on pro wrestling but he still trains for MMA two or three times a week so he is never completely out of MMA. Check out his recent interview on a post-fight press conference.
