In a post-WWE NXT Takeover: Brooklyn 4 media call, Triple H was questioned about the signing of Matt Riddle to the company, as well as how Riddle has matured in the past few years.

On Riddle’s maturity, Triple H stated, “I think he’s ready to come in and get brought the rest of the way, I think he’s matured as a person. He’s realized where he wants to get to in the business as opposed to having fun being in the business. There’s a difference.”

When the question was asked about what Riddle can bring to the WWE NXT roster, Triple H had the following to say, “Matt brings a lot to the table. He’s an amazing athlete, smart in the way he’s adapted, and what he did in his MMA career. He’s learned a lot on his own in a very brief period of time to get where he is. I watched him for a while, watched his ups and downs. There comes a time when somebody gets good enough.”
