#4 Matt Riddle
Matt Riddle is a former MMA fighter who competed in the UFC for six years. In 2015 he attended a WWE tryout, following which WWE got him signed to EVOLVE in a bid to help him gain more experience in professional wrestling.
Riddle was out of his depth at the beginning, having to compete against seasoned veterans, but has developed really fast since his pro wrestling debut. Quite a few wrestlers from EVOLVE have signed with WWE in the past, but Riddle is the only one that EVOLVE have signed on WWE request.
It seems that Riddle has been earmarked by WWE as a future star who’s in EVOLVE to hone his skills. A match against Heath Slater would be a great way for WWE to gauge how far Riddle has come. For his time, Heath Slater would face one of the up and coming stars on EVOLVE’s roster.
