It has been expected for a long time and rumored seemingly since he decided to leave MMA for pro wrestling, but it seems that Matt Riddle has finally signed with WWE. According to multiple reports, including ones from Ringside News and Bodyslam.net, The King of Bros will be taking his talents to WWE’s NXT brand, possibly as soon as next month.
It was noted that he has been canceling his upcoming independent bookings and removing things for sale from his online store, which increased speculation of the move.
The 32-year-old Riddle was a TUF and UFC competitor from 2008-14, compiling an 8-3 record with two No Contests.
