The current RAW Universal Champion is the longest-serving WWE Champion in recent times, and he had broken the record of CM Punk last year. He has annihilated the streak of The Undertaker a few years back, and currently, he is the most bankable WWE Superstar.
However, there is this one new entrant in NXT who is not petrified of Brock Lesnar, and he claims that he can retire Lesnar from wrestling scene. The guy is none other than Matt Riddle.
Matt Riddle is one of the hottest prospects of NXT right now, and he has taken the yellow brand by storm. Riddle has a unique charisma about him, and has already impressed in the ring in his limited amount of matches, and made a statement with a six-second victory over Kassius Ohno at TakeOver: War Games.
Prior to his stint in NXT, he had wrestled in the Independent scene, making a shift from MMA to wrestling due to a second positive drug test.
His ‘I don’t care’ attitude has gained him a lot of popularity, and he is a huge asset to WWE. In the next few years, we can see him in the main roster, and if his luck favours him, then in the main-event scene.
Just a few months into his NXT career back in November, Riddle sent out a tweet following the conclusion of WWE’s Crown Jewel event in Saudi Arabia, where Brock Lesnar re-claimed the Universal Championship.
In his recent interview with Jeremy Borash this past week, the latter asked him about his beef with Lesnar to which he replied,
Brock Lesnar is not the only main-eventer Riddle has vowed to defeat, John Cena also stars in his bucket list of dream matches.
Riddle noted that he had a chat with John Cena in the Madison Square Garden and he would love to wrestle him in a match. According to ProWrestling.com, he said,
Whether it is going to happen or not is another thing, but if the company are serious about Riddle being a huge star in the future, they should give these MMA fighters a chance to compete against each other.
