Matt Riddle was recently seen coaching a WWE star ahead of his massive debut in the company. The star in question is Lexis King (fka Brian Pillman Jr.).
Riddle was one of the most shocking releases by WWE this year. Even though the star has been a part of some controversies, no one saw him being released by the company. The Original Bro made a huge name for himself by winning several titles, including the United States Championship, the NXT Tag Team Championship, and the RAW Tag Team Championship twice with Randy Orton.
Meanwhile, Lexis King has already made a name in other wrestling promotions like AEW. He has already won the OVW World Heavyweight Championship and MLW World Tag Team Championship.
