Matt Riddle’s name has been involved in plenty of controversies over the years, and that’s not likely to change. He is still getting a lot of attention, and his personal life is also drawing a lot of headlines as well.

Riddle and his wife Misha Montana just announced that they are expecting baby. Then, a few days later, a private NSFW video of the couple leaked online to cause even more attention in the Original Bro’s direction.

Ringside News was able to to confirm with a tenure member of the WWE creative team that Matt Riddle did not get any time off due to Misha Montana’s pregnancy. He just isn’t factored into any creative plans heading into SummerSlam.

Matt Riddle is still working WWE live events. He just teamed with the Alpha Academy to beat Imperium on July 29th at a house show in Ft. Myers, Florida. So, he’s still on the road. His television last match was on July 17th, as GUNTHER beat him on RAW.

Matt Riddle made a significant career move when he left the MMA world. Leaving the octagon behind, he embraced the world of professional wrestling, showcasing his skills and charisma on the indies before breaking into NXT. This transition opened new doors for Riddle, after UFC fired him due to a positive drug test for marijuana, which led to his exit.

At this time, WWE is focusing all of their energy on SummerSlam, and Riddle doesn’t have a match at the biggest party of the summer. That explains his absence from WWE television more than anything else right now.
