The NXT Universe got a glimpse inside Matt Riddle’s rigorous training as WWE Network cameras documented the former UFC fighter’s workout inside an MMA gym.
Between visuals of Riddle pounding a heavy bag and German suplexing a dummy to high heaven, The Original Bro talked about his love of the grappling arts, stressing that he continues to train every aspect of his game, from Muay Thai and judo to jiu-jitsu and wrestling. Though Riddle was, true to form, as cool as the other side of a pillow while commenting on his pugilistic prowess, his words carried gravity, none more so than his conclusion that, as he continues to perfect his technique and get stronger, “around the world, people are intimidated” by his ability.
