Triple H Talks About Matt Riddle’s Character And Intensity After NXT Takeover: War Games

By Subhojeet Mukherjee On Nov 18, 2018

Matt Riddle was one of the hottest free agents after making his departure from UFC. He arrived in NXT soon enough and currently is making name for himself there.

Triple H spoke to Cathy Kelly on Facebook Live following NXT TakeOver: WarGames. Matt made his Takeover debut here, winning in quick fashion. The Game would talk about Riddle’s intensity and potential in NXT. This is what he said:

“Don’t tell Matt Riddle you’re gonna knock him out because as fast as the words ‘Knock you out’ came out of Kassius Ohno’s mouth, he was laying in the middle of the ring and I’m still not sure he knows that match started. What a TakeOver debut moment for Riddle walking out in LA and just making quick work of a veteran like Kassius Ohno. That’s making a mark, that’s making a statement.”

“Charisma, all of it. It comes out of everything about him. You have a tendency to look at him and say this kid is aloof and he doesn’t take this seriously. But boy, when that bell rings he turns it on and there is an aggressive streak and a level of intensity that comes out of him that very few have. He’s going to be a force to be reckoned with, that’s for sure.”

The King of Bros is here to stay and he will conquer NXT with his unique personality and offence. We can’t wait to see how he’ll develop.
