Predicting The Future Of WWE In 10 Wrestlers
9. Matt Riddle
Age: 33
What They're Doing Now: Riddle was another who stood out on Team NXT at Survivor Series. In truth, he has done since he joined the company in 2018. A credible MMA-fighter-turned-wrestler, Riddle has earned rave reviews for his work against Adam Cole, Velveteen Dream, Killian Dain and others.
The Future: The window is also closing on the ex-UFC man's chance to make a sizeable impact on WWE as a whole. He's ready now, and he doesn't need more seasoning before working a top line feud. Don't be surprised if Riddle leaps onto Raw and challenges Brock Lesnar at some point either.
That'd make perfect sense.
There's storyline juice there due to each man's respective real-fighting background, Riddle's laid back cool persona is one fans will get behind and Lesnar would enjoy working with someone who can take a kicking. He has genuine, natural magnetism about him too. It's surely only a matter of time before Riddle is used exclusively in main events.
