WWE released Matt Riddle from his contract, and this came after he burned a ton of chances with the company. There were over two dozen incidents where he had backstage heat on him, but his name still has a lot of value.
Matt Riddle just filed trademark for a nickname that he used while in WWE. He could have some big plans in the pipeline, and there is a lot of interest from multiple places in having him come in.
The Wrestling Observer Newsletter noted that Matt Riddle has some big interest elsewhere after his WWE release. That interest is coming from bare knuckle boxing, MMA, and other pro wrestling companies.
“Regarding Matt Riddle, his people have already been in talks with a number of pro wrestling, MMA and boxing companies regarding working there. The only two that have come out are PFL and Bare Knuckle Boxing. Nothing can be announced until December when his non-compete ends, and yes, his non-compete does extend to MMA and boxing.”
Matt Riddle’s WWE hiatus began following an Instagram post in which Riddle accused JFK airport officer of sexual harassment. The post was deleted on September 10th.
Ringside News exclusively reported that Port Authority officers received call about disorderly passenger deplaning, and they encountered Riddle in the terminal, purportedly the individual involved in the disorderly conduct. At that time, an internal investigation was initiated. Later on, actual video evidence confirmed our report.
We will have to see where Matt Riddle appears next. Obviously, his name has value, and he could bring some money to an event. Only time will tell where he pops up next.
