Ladies and gentlemen, Matthew Fredrick Riddle is at it again.

With the Brock Lesnar/Royal Rumble controversy still settling, NXT's 'Original Bro' aimed a needling barb at the WWE Champion while cutting a promo during a Las Vegas house show over the weekend.

Attendee Chris Toplack shared the following video on Twitter:-

"I never stopped. I kept training. I knew the goal. The dream was right there in front of me, and I’m not going to stop. This is just the beginning. 12 years ago it started, and 12 years from now and I’ll still be going. I guarantee you this Las Vegas…The Bro retires Brock Lesnar. And you know what…the Broserweights are NXT. DIY is NXT."

This promo comes on the heels of a new report from the Wrestling Observer's Dave Meltzer stating that despite recent issues with Lesnar and Vince McMahon stemming from the Rumble incident, NXT has told Ridden to "follow up on the Brock stuff." This may have been what he was talking about.

Whatever the case, Riddle is always an interesting guy to follow inside the ring and out. Let's see if anything comes of the Lesnar "feud."
