There have been plenty of rumors over the past week or two that Matt Riddle could be heading to WWE. The latest rumor is that Riddle has already signed a 3-year deal with WWE and they are keeping it quiet.
Riddle addressed the rumors that he is WWE-bound in a recent interview with Sports Illustrated.
Here is what he said:
“I’ve been in situations like this before. “There is nothing official. I’ve talked to WWE, I’ve talked to the president of New Japan, and I am confident in where I stand in the world of professional wrestling. Being real in pro wrestling has paid off. Just being myself, that really translated to the fans. It’s not that I don’t love the indies, it’s just time to move on.
“I need more substance, I need to grow. I’m a shark and I swam in a lot of different ponds, but I’m ready for the ocean. It just depends if I’m going to the Atlantic or the Pacific.”
On a related note, Riddle recently listed several NXT stars that he would like to wrestle. You can read that here.
