WWE's 10 best matches of February 2019

#7 Matt Riddle vs. Drew Gulak (NXT, February 6th)

Drew Gulak made a visit to NXT and used his submission game to defeat the instantly popular Eric Bugenhagen, but he demanded a more worthy challenge. Out came Matt Riddle, who had the best match of his WWE career thus far.

This match saw some great mat-based wrestling and trading of submission holds. It was one of the best pure technical matches of 2019 so far. Gulak almost seemed to get the better of Riddle, but the former mixed martial artist was always able to respond. He would eventually win the chess match and force the submission specialist to tap out.

No one would be sad to see a rematch between these two, or for Gulak to make another appearance on the black and yellow brand. As for Riddle, this match did more than any of his matches with Kassius Ohno to show us how capable he is.
