Original: Matt Riddle is one of the most beloved babyfaces in WWE right now, but his life outside of the company could be considered to be like a heel. Riddle recently made headlines after accusing security officer of assaulting him at JFK Airport and it appears he never wants to go back there after the incident.

The Original Bro loves having fun and is generally cool all the time but he recently became the center of attention after Riddle accused a security officer of sexually assaulting and harassing him at JFK Airport. Riddle detailed the incident on Instagram, writing:

“Nothing like being sexually assaulted by an officer and harassed at the jfk airport, no means no and just because I’m nice doesn’t mean yes!!! A !!! Don’t know they’re Twitter or Instagram handles but I took pictures, normally I’m like whatever but today was really weird and uncomfortable and they made a point to make me feel small and useless. Definitely one of the most uncomfortable travel days I’ve ever had thanks NYC you’re so progressive and accepting!”
