Matt Riddle makes NXT Live Event debut

September 21, 2018

See highlights from Matt Riddle's first match in NXT, and hear from The King of Bros following his triumphant debut.

The King of Bros has arrived.

NXT’s newest blockbuster signee, former UFC fighter and independent wrestling champion Matt Riddle, made his in-ring debut Friday night at a Live Event in Sanford, Fla., taking on Fabian Aichner.

Once a member of UFC’s welterweight division, Riddle left mixed martial arts in 2014 to pursue a career in sports-entertainment. He turned into the breakout star of the independent ranks, capturing titles in North America and Europe, before signing with NXT this summer.

Introduced as NXT’s newest Superstar at TakeOver: Brooklyn IV in August, Riddle tweeted Thursday night that he couldn't wait to make his NXT debut, writing that it had “been a while since I’ve heard the roar of a crowd.”

Judging by the reaction of the NXT Universe in Sanford, Riddle’s wait is over.

Take a look at the incredible career of NXT's exciting new Superstar Matt Riddle, as The King of Bros throws haymakers in UFC and wows the masses with his show-stealing battles in the squared circle.
