Following months of speculation, Matt Riddle appeared on camera on a WWE broadcast at Saturday night’s NXT TakeOver: Brooklyn 4 live special.
Riddle has been rumored to be negotiating a deal with WWE for a while now, and after his cameo on last night’s show, WWE has confirmed that he has signed.
Former EVOLVE Champion and UFC fighter Matt Riddle was announced as WWE’s newest signee by Paul “Triple H” Levesque at the official NXT TakeOver: Brooklyn 4 post-show press conference.
Additionally, WWE.com published an article confirming the signing of the former Ultimate Fighter veteran.
Matt Riddle, or as he is often referred to by fans, “The King of Bros,” has been announced as the newest Superstar to wave the NXT flag. Fittingly, the news was revealed as he was ringside for tonight’s huge WWE Network special event in Brooklyn.
The former wrestling champion and UFC fighter made a name for himself in the indie circuit, capturing titles such as the EVOLVE Championship and the PROGRESS Atlas Championship.
It's worth noting that although Riddle has signed with WWE, he is still obligated to make various independent appearances through September of 2018.

With WWE signing another top independent star, the NXT talent roster expands. Riddle joins a rich talent pool right now that includes Ricochet, Johnny Gargano, Tommaso Ciampa, Aleister Black, EC3, Velveteen Dream and many others.
