Matt Riddle has reportedly signed a new three-year contract with WWE.

The Original Bro was called up to the main roster from NXT last year and is a regular fixture on Raw.

The Wrestling Observer’s Dave Meltzer claims Riddle has agreed a deal worth $400,000 per year with a $50,000 bonus for every Saudi Arabia show.

WWE legend Hulk Hogan has backed Riddle as the company’s ‘next megastar’.

After talking about how he predicted Kevin Owens for big things in 2015, Hogan said: “Right now there’s another guy that’s stumbling into that situation.

“You know, acting like he doesn’t know what’s going on but he’s smart as hell.

“That’s the ‘Bro’, Riddle, who kicks his flip-flops off when he comes into the ring.

“I’ve been watching him and he’s really got good instincts. He’s really got a good aptitude for understanding what needs to be done, you know.

“It’s all about instincts and timing. His timing is off a little bit but it’s starting to come each and every week so, I mean, he would be the next one I’d put my money on.”
