After his run with WWE ended, Matt Riddle returned home in many ways to Major League Wrestling. It was a place where the polarizing figure achieved tremendous success as a franchise player when the promotion was revived in 2017. The former UFC fighter turned pro wrestler collected some major wins in a short amount of time including against former champ Jacob Fatu and Davey Boy Smith Jr. With the free spirit spreading his wings once more, he has rededicated himself. His biggest test to date in the company will happen during the War Chamber TrillerTV+ streaming event and TV tapings on March 29 from The Coliseum in St. Petersberg, Florida. It’s when he’ll pull double duty by first putting his New Japan Pro Wrestling TV Championship on the line versus Kosei Fujita and then facing a familiar opponent in Timothy Thatcher. Here Riddle opens up about entering a new phase...

Match #1: Ludwig Kaiser def. Matt Riddle The following is courtesy of wwe.com:
With Gunther preparing to battle Drew McIntyre in an Intercontinental Championship Match at SummerSlam, his disappointment in Ludwig Kaiser’s recent failures proved to be a great motivator for his Imperium cohort to overcome Matt Riddle in a hard-fought matchup with a devastating Ddt.
My Score: 3.5 out of 5 Match #2: Maxxine Dupri def. Valhalla The following is courtesy of wwe.com:
Two week’s after Valhalla smashed Maxxine Dupri through a table, The Alpha Academy neutralized the interfering Viking Raiders outside the ring and paved the way for the recent graduate of Alpha Academy to overcome her ominous adversary with a technically superior finishing maneuver in her first one-on-one matchup.

Welcome to this week’s Nxt review, right here on Nerdly. I’m Nathan Favel and we have a bad week from the WWE to deal with as we look at Nxt. Okay, here we go.
Match #1: Mansoor def. Sean Maluta The following is courtesy wwe.com:
Mansoor has shown well during all his appearances on Nxt and Nxt UK, giving established Superstars like Dominik Dijakovic and Travis Banks a run for their money. Tonight, however, Mansoor not only turned in another head-turning performance, but he also scored his first victory on Nxt TV, defeating Sean Maluta. The “Samoan Dragon” gave Mansoor plenty of trouble, at one point catching him with a leaping Codebreaker off the middle turnbuckle, but Mansoor courageously fought back. He snapped off a low-angle German suplex before hitting Maluta with a slingshot neckbreaker and an innovative twisting inverted suplex to score the three-count.
My Opinion:...

Welcome to this week’s Nxt review, right here on Nerdly. I’m Nathan Favel and we have Matt Riddle fighting Adam Cole. By the way, I ain’t saying Bay-Bay.
Match #1: Bianca Belair def. Mia Yim The following is courtesy of wwe.com:
Bianca Belair prides herself on her physical superiority, but she needed her wits — and the illegal use of her infamous braid — to beat Mia Yim by a hair. The grudge match was evenly contested and, as expected, included intense exchanges and plenty of trash-talk between the rival Superstars. When Belair was in the driver’s seat, she let the world know it, showboating and openly mocking Yim. Enraged over Belair’s arrogance, The Head Baddie in Charge fired back and eventually trapped Belair in a pinning predicament near the ropes, but Belair reversed the pin and, outside the referee’s line of vision, wrapped her...

Welcome to this week’s Nxt review, right here on Nerdly. I’m Nathan Favel and we have more weird stuff from Nxt.
Match #1: Nikki Cross def. Mercedes Martinez The following is courtesy of WWE.com:
Nikki Cross and her brand of chaos opened this week’s Nxt, but this time Nxt’s Twisted Sister engaged in a fierce battle against former Mae Young Classic competitor Mercedes Martinez, who recently put on a classic against Meiko Satomura in the tournament’s Second Round. Stepping inside the yellow ropes this week, The Latina Sensation carried that same energy, along with presenting a massive hurdle for Nxt’s Twisted Sister.
In a true battle of brute force and unhinged aggression, the two brawlers vigorously (and visibly) pushed each other to their limits. When Cross attempted a sleeper hold, Martinez thrust her into the turnbuckle. When Martinez locked in a suffocating guillotine,...
