Matt Riddle Is Fighting Baseball Mascots And Feuding With WCW Superstars

WWE

Matt Riddle, NXT Superstar and undisputed King of Bros, doesn’t have a match at next weekend’s NXT TakeOver Toronto II, but he’s finding plenty of ways to keep himself occupied in the meantime. He’s currently feuding with Killian Dane on the show, with a match to come this week, but he’s also picking fights outside of NXT. The former MMA fighter, who joined NXT last October, has a reputation for being irreverent and occasionally silly, which gets him mixed reactions among people who take wrestling Very Seriously, but is mostly just endearing to the rest of us.

For example, this weekend Matt Riddle threw out the first pitch at a Tampa Bay Rays baseball game, and when the Rays’ mascot Raymond apparently mocked Riddle’s throw, he crossbodied the big fuzzy guy and pinned him for a self-administered three-count.
