A former Ultimate Fighter, Matt Riddle was once considered by many to be one of the brightest young upstarts in UFC's stacked Welterweight division which had the likes of George St Pierre, Carlos Condit and Jimmy Hendricks in its ranks.

The Las Vegas native was on a five-fight win streak (two of which were later were deemed as No Contest) before he was released by the company in 2013. UFC President Dana White would verbally eviscerate Riddle for his use of marijuana and failing doping tests in an interview with Chael Sonnen. Following his UFC exit, it was revealed that Riddle had signed with Bellator MMA but the King of Bros never fought for the Viacom-owned promotion.

Following his initial departure from WWE in 2009, Lashley would try his hand in Mixed Martial Arts. The former collegiate wrestler has had fights in various MMA promotions across the globe but is known for his tenure in Bellator MMA. The All Mighty was undefeated in his last eight fights.

Lashley and Riddle are two of the most accomplished athletes in the company today. This is as close as we would get to see a shoot/ catch wrestling style fight in a WWE setting and we think this could be pure gold, with the right kind of booking and build-up.
