WWE NXT Superstar Matt Riddle's friendship with his tag team partner Pete Dunne seems to be flourishing with each passing day.

Riddle has now debuted a new ring gear that is bound to instantly remind fans of Dunne. The ring gear is a singlet and Riddle seems to be enjoying this change, if the photo posted by NXT's official Twitter handle is any indication.
Riddle made his way to NXT way back in 2018 and was mostly a singles wrestler until earlier this year. On the January 10, 2020 edition of WWE NXT, the participants for this year's edition of theDusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic were revealed and fans were surprised to find out that Riddle had been paired with Dunne. Riddle, known for his carefree demeanor, is the opposite of the usually serious and no-nonsense Dunne.
The duo was soon dubbed The BroserWeights. They went on to win the tournament by defeating Grizzled Young Veterans (James Drake and Zack Gibson) in the finals to bag an opportunity at the NXT Tag Team Championship. They also defeated The Undisputed Era's Bobby Fish and Kyle O'Reilly at NXT TakeOver: Portland to win the belts.

Abhilash checks his articles thrice before sending them to the editing team, ensuring his work is highly accurate and reliable.
He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.
Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.
