10 Best Matt Riddle Wrestling Matches You Must See

One year on from his debut in NXT, Riddle was handed a marquee match against Finn Bálor with the latter taking part in his first TakeOver match in four years.

This match is a must see because it answers many questions we have on Riddle. Does he have backstage heat for trash talking Goldberg on social media? Do those backstage see him as a main event player? The highlight comes when Riddle hits Bálor with a massive Spear followed by a Jackhammer. Sit up and take notice, Bill Goldberg. The crowd becomes absolutely unglued at this point as his ‘homage’ to Goldberg throws plenty of salt on already open wounds. It also proves that some NXT officials obviously have enjoyed Riddle using his initiative to create an online feud with Goldberg.

The match had a real main event feel and shows that Riddle may well be trusted to headline big shows in the future.

Riddle’s inclusion in the main event the next night at Survivor Series was a clear sign that those backstage in WWE must be a fan of ‘The Original Bro’.

It marked his first appearance for a mainstream audience alongside Keith Lee, Walter, Tommaso Ciampa and Damian Priest. This appearance offered a good indication at how Riddle might be presented should he be called up to RAW or SmackDown and what his fan reaction would be. Riddle got a huge elimination on Randy Orton before an incensed Orton hit him with an RKO and Baron Corbin picked up the pin on Riddle.

Over WarGames and Survivor Series weekend, Riddle went toe-to-toe with the biggest stars in WWE and more than held his own, leaving us salivating for his next appearance on one of the big shows.
