Brock Lesnar Double Parker Boudreaux Signs With WWE And Has Already Caught Riddle's Eye
Parker Boudreaux, who bears a remarkable resemblance to Brock Lesnar has signed a developmental contract with WWE.
If Brock Lesnar was The Next Big Thing, then we're guessing Parker Boudreaux is The Next Next Big Thing. Well, actually, the college football star also refers to himself as The Next Big Thing, just like Lesnar did 20 years ago. Unsurprising as the newly signed WWE developmental star looks so much like The Beast Incarnate that we can't quite believe the two of them aren't related.
Comparisons between Lesnar and Boudreaux's appearances have been made by a few people, including Paul Heyman. It was reported recently that Boudreaux was backstage at an NXT taping. He also revealed on social media that he and former WWE Superstar Eva Marie were having a Royal Rumble viewing party. Amusing since the two of them have been linked with the company recently.

While Marie's WWE status remains in limbo, Wrestling Observer Newsletter reports Boudreaux has now signed a developmental deal with WWE. As for when he will be making his debut or reporting to the Performance Center remains unclear. Regardless, Riddle has decided to jump the gun and is already eyeing up a match against the young star. Riddle reacted to the news with an amusing tweet regarding his relationship with Lesnar.
"He looks just like Brock Lesnar but younger and doesn’t hate me enough to refuse a match with me yet," Riddle tweeted along with a photo of Boudreaux. Riddle has been lobbying for a match with Lesnar before he even signed a contract in WWE. However, neither The Beast nor WWE seem too keen on the idea. Riddle has previously admitted he went the wrong way about trying to get the match and now Lesnar hates him.
That explains why Riddle has been somewhat quiet on the match lobbying front. Now that Boudreaux is in the same company, he might well have to settle for a match against the new recruit rather than the original Lesnar. That could be a while, though. Boudreaux has been playing football up until this point and has very little wrestling experience. Then again, as soon as Vince McMahon gets one look at him, he'll probably be on Raw later that week.
