Prior to today’s MLB game between the Tampa Bay Rays and the Florida Marlins, NXT star Matt Riddle was on-site to throw out the ceremonial first pitch. Afterwards, Riddle charged the Rays’ mascot Raymond, and took him out with a flying crossbody. He would then pin him and take his title. Fox Sports would later tweet out a video of the moment, joking that Raymond wants to have a rematch with the King of Bros. Check it out below.

In defense of our guy @RaysRaymond, there should've at least been a bell!
