Despite the name, Matt Riddle wasn’t someone to play with.

Sure, the seemingly carefree grappler battled in the ring barefoot – with a pair of flip-flops nearby, of course – and carried around a lax demeanor that unsuspecting opponents might scoff at. That Riddle, however, was wrapped in an arsenal of surprises. Equipped with a dangerous cache of maneuvers, whether it be a canvas-rattling exploder suplex or his wince-inducing Bromission, the rangy striker was a man of many stylistic flourishes.

This incredible versatility, as well as his reputation as a top striker and submission artist, helped The Original Bro explode onto the scene when he arrived in WWE via an introduction by WWE Hall of Famer Kurt Angle. The former NXT Tag Team Champion quickly found himself embroiled in rivalries with the likes of AJ Styles and King Corbin.

At WWE Elimination Chamber, Riddle captured his first singles championship in WWE by overcoming titleholder Bobby Lashley and John Morrison in a Triple Threat Match to win the United States Championship.

In 2021, Riddle formed an alliance with Randy Orton and seemingly believed that Rated RK-Bro was destined for greatness. And that belief paid off in BROtastic fashion when he and The Viper captured the Raw Tag Team Titles at SummerSlam 2021.
