Matt Riddle’s rise to fame in WWE was meteoric, earning him a spot as a fan favorite just a year after his debut in 2018. However, the last 12 months have been marked by a series of controversies and setbacks that have cast a shadow over his career. A second failed drug test led to his removal from television, and subsequent infidelity allegations and social media feuds have further tarnished his image.
Riddle’s last appearance on RAW was a loss to The Usos alongside Kevin Owens, followed by a brutal beating at the hands of Solo Sikoa that left him stretchered out of the ring. His departure from WWE television was reportedly a result of his failure to comply with the company’s Wellness Policy. Given his tumultuous year, fans are naturally curious about whether Riddle will return to the ring anytime soon.
In the meantime, Riddle has been keeping a low profile, spending quality time with his family and sharing occasional updates on social media. A recent tweet featured a photo of him enjoying sushi with his loved ones, captioned “So happy to be back with my family and to enjoy sushi with them. Hope everyone is having a great day #stallion #family #love.” The message was a much-needed respite from the drama that has followed him off-screen.

Riddle’s lady companions have also been making headlines, including one who recently revealed that her Christmas plans with Riddle were cancelled due to his stint in rehab. As Riddle prepares to return to the ring at The Barclays Center in Brooklyn, NY on February 13th, fans are eagerly anticipating what the future holds for the troubled superstar.
Will Riddle be able to put his controversies behind him and regain his footing in WWE, or will the recent drama continue to overshadow his in-ring performances? Only time will tell.
