Matt Riddle made his NXT wrestling debut last night at a live show in Sanford, FL, defeating Fabian Aichner with a powerbomb followed by a knee strike. Riddle appeared to be very over with the small crowd.
NXT put together the video below including a short interview with Riddle and footage from his debut.

Though he wasn’t at this week’s NXT tapings (which taped the next four weeks of shows), he’s expected to make his NXT TV debut soon (possibly at the next NXT tapings on October 17) and is rumored to be facing Kassius Ohno at NXT TakeOver Los Angeles on November 17.
Riddle is still scheduled to make one more indie appearance for PROGRESS Wrestling on September 30 in Wembley, England, where he’ll be facing Mark Haskins
