WWN Live Issues Statement in Response to Report of Former UFC Star Heading to WWE Soon

March 4, 2016

As noted, The Wrestling Observer previously reported that former UFC star Matt Riddle will be signing with WWE soon, as he recently met with Triple H.

EVOLVE parent company WWN Live issued the following statement on the report:

Matt Riddle has been the subject of many rumors in the past week, including what was reported in this week’s Wrestling Observer Newsletter. What we do know is that when the former UFC fighter confronted William Regal at EVOLVE 54 about a WWE contract, Regal told him to focus on winning the EVOLVE Title first. Riddle has made it clear in the past that he sees EVOLVE as his stepping stone. Will he take that step by winning the EVOLVE Title on March 19th?

Nick was born and raised in Detroit, Michigan, and lived there until the age of 18, when he decided to pack his flack jacket and move to New York City.

Nick first entered the internet wrestling community back in 2004 when he became the co-host of The Voice of Wrestling Radio Show. From there, Nick made the transition from radio personality to editor when he began working with WrestleZone in 2008.
