Former EVOLVE Wrestling Champion Matt Riddle, who is expected to make his debut for the WWE at the upcoming NXT Takeover: Brooklyn IV event, suffered an injury during his hardcore war match against Shane Strickland over the weekend in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania based off an Instagram post by Riddle’s mother.
Riddle’s mother notes that he had the skin ripped off the tip of his finger due to a deep cut suffered during a spot with a chair in the match, stating that the first chair clip took the tip of his finger off.
Riddle, who no doubt felt the pain, wrestled the following day against Austin Theory in Melrose, Massachusetts.
