Triple H spoke about the WWE signing of Matt Riddle at the NXT TakeOver: Brooklyn IV post-show press conference on Saturday evening. Featured below are some of the highlights.
On why WWE decided to sign Riddle after deciding against it in the past due to his history with marijuana: “I think he’s ready to come in and get brought the rest of the way. I also think he’s matured as a person which, we’ll find out, but I think he’s matured as a person and he’s realized where he wants to get to in the business as opposed to just having fun being in the business, there’s a difference. So we think now’s the right time, but time will tell.”
On Riddle’s potential in NXT and how time will tell how far he makes it in WWE: “He’s a very, very talented guy, the sky is the limit and you know, we’ll see what he can do. It’s an interesting thing because I think sometimes people think that we just bring them in and just go with it, it’s not that simple. Not everybody makes it, not everything works. There are a lot of factors that go into it, so we’ll see.
“I believe in him and I believe he has a lot of potential and talent, but again just like everybody else as they walk in the door, we’ll see.”
