9 UFC Stars Who Could Be In The WWE Soon

6. Matt Riddle

https://twitter.com/riddletuf7/status/625162819781160960 Matt Riddle was known for two things in his UFC career, which began with The Ultimate Fighter: exciting fights where he never backed down, and getting busted for smoking pot. After a final violation had Dana White calling him all sorts of names and cutting him from the promotion, Riddle - who does have a license to use marijuana legally for medicinal purposes - switched over to the pro wrestling world after booking a fight with Bellator MMA didn't pan out. Riddle now trains with the Monster Factory in New Jersey, where trainers include the likes of the Blue Meanie, and made his pro wrestling debut in February 2015. So the man with the name that itself sounds like a wrestling character, Batman villain, or Harry Potter bad guy may actually have a shot in the big leagues, since he seems to be taking the transition seriously. He has even added a championship belt to his trophy case. Not only that, the WWE were said to be looking at him earlier this year. In June, he also tweeted a hint or two about doing something with NXT.
