Matt Riddle Reportedly Tried To Set Up Fight With Jake Paul

The Wrestling Observer Newsletter reports that Matt Riddle and his representatives reportedly contacted Jake Paul about possibly having some kind of match. Paul wasn’t interested in an MMA fight, but Riddle was open to a boxing match. Riddle would obviously have the edge under MMA rules due to his previous experience.

At this point the decision is said to be up to Paul, but there’s no word on if it might happen or not. Riddle’s non-compete clause from WWE expires next month and he is already booked for his first match. Riddle will face Rob Van Dam on March 9 for BTW.
