What many people may not know about Matt Riddle, despite his very laid-back appearance, the barefoot Superstar has more than his fair share of skills in the ring.

He started his MMA career in the UFC where he fought in The Ultimate Fighter. Riddle went on to fight multiple times in the UFC with several wins to his name. As a result of Riddle's use of cannabis in his fights, he was not looked on too kindly by Dana White and the UFC. He had two fights in the UFC which were turned over against him as he would later test positive for cannabis.

Charlotte Flair to return and wrestle a CURRENT CHAMPION?

He ended up being released from the company, and after a fight in Titan FC, Riddle went on to join NXT. Since coming to NXT, Riddle has become one of the more controversial Superstars in the world of wrestling while also being loved by the fans. Riddle has stirred up controversy by challenging Superstars like Brock Lesnar and Goldberg when they were not included in storylines with him. However, he has found success in NXT and is currently one half of the Broserweights and the NXT Tag Team Champions.

Record: 8-3
