Career Summary

Riddle is a barefoot, MMA-influenced wrestler who blends grappling, striking, and suplex-heavy offense with a laid-back surfer persona and a heavy emphasis on the word “bro”. After a UFC run (record 8–3–2) and other MMA appearances, he transitioned to wrestling in 2015, quickly gaining a reputation on the independent scene and winning titles in EVOLVE, WWN, PROGRESS, and PWG.

He joined WWE in 2018, becoming NXT Tag Team Champion and Dusty Classic winner with Pete Dunne, then on the main roster held the United States Championship and twice the Raw Tag Team Championship as part of RK-Bro with Randy Orton.

Post-WWE, he became a traveling main-event attraction, winning belts across NJPW, AAA, MLW, WSW, AAW, and various independents, including the MLW World Heavyweight Championship and NJPW World Television Championship.

His in-ring style is high-paced and physical, mixing submissions like the Bromission with high-impact moves like his BroDerek and the Floating Bro, while his persona oscillates between affable slacker babyface and cockier “Rude Dude” heel.
