Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, has noted that former UFC star turned wrestler, Matt Riddle, could be close to signing with the WWE. Meltzer noted that Riddle’s current promotion, WWN, is allowing him to work a match for Revolution Pro against New Japan’s Tomohiro Ishii.
Riddle working with Tomohiro Ishii could gain him interest from New Japan Pro-Wrestling; in-turn, since WWE has had interest in Riddle for quite sometime, it could possibly cause WWE to pick up the speed on bringing Riddle into the company.
