Matt Riddle made his highly anticipated NXT debut this past weekeꦍnd at a live event in Sanford, ඣFlorida.
While Riddle's debut and performance were note-worthy, it was his shorts that caught the eye💎 of many observers.
Following his debut, Riddle's wife Lisa revealed that the shorts were actually hers.
Spe💖aking , Riddle explained why he wore his wife's shorts instead of his traditional wrestling gear.
"I have other gear that I wore while I was in the Indies with a couple sponsors on there. I didn't want to wear the sponsors in matches, especially if WWE/NXT didn't sign off on it. I didn't think it was very responsive clothing while performing under their umbrella, without their permission," said Riddle. "I decided to wear blue shorts, which were actually my wife's shorts. It was last-second because I was gonna wear (the sponsored) gear, but I thought I probably shouldn't. So I ended up wearing those shorts. I thought they were a success. Some people thought they were a little small. But that's what I needed. Showing off what I got. I worked hard."
Later in the interview, Riddle was asked who a dream opponent would be for him on the WWE roster. Riddle named Cesaro, noting, "If were able to just go at it, make it a fight, it would be pretty sensational."
