Matt Riddle’s tenure in PROGRESS Wrestling was short but impactful, showcasing his signature blend of MMA precision and laid-back charisma that instantly won over fans on both sides of the Atlantic.

Debuting in 2017, Riddle quickly rose through the ranks and cemented his place in PROGRESS history by winning the ATLAS Championship, defeating WALTER in a brutal clash that stunned the Ballroom. That victory proved he wasn’t just a novelty—he was a serious threat in the heavyweight division with gold to show for it.

Riddle’s biggest spotlight came at Chapter 55: Chase The Sun, where he defended the ATLAS title in front of thousands at Alexandra Palace, adding another chapter to a reign defined by intensity and legitimacy. His matches against the likes of Timothy Thatcher and Trent Seven further elevated the championship’s prestige and Riddle’s reputation alike.

His style was as unique as his persona—ferocious strikes, technical groundwork, and that unmistakable “Bro” swagger. Whether in singles action or part of high-stakes multi-man bouts, Riddle brought a pulse-pounding energy every time he stepped in the ring.

Though his time in PROGRESS was relatively brief before moving on to WWE, Matt Riddle left behind a legacy of excitement, unpredictability, and heavyweight excellence. His reign as ATLAS Champion remains one of the defining moments of the division’s history.
