In a candid interview on MMA Hour, former WWE star Matt Riddle opened up about the turbulent aftermath of his public divorce from ex-wife Lisa Rennie. Released from the WWE in September 2023, Riddle found himself thrust into the spotlight due to the unexpected end of his marriage.
Riddle, known for his outspoken nature, disclosed that he was asked to leave his home by his then-wife last year. Despite recently securing a contract with WWE, his return home was met with a shocking demand for separation. What ensued was a series of unexpected events that would soon become public knowledge.
Unveiling Shocking Discoveries
According to Riddle, merely a week after their divorce, his children reached out to him with surprising news. It appears that his ex-wife had quickly moved on and was romantically involved with none other than their son’s PE coach, Rob. Riddle recounted the unexpected revelation during the interview with Ariel Helwani:
“I got my stuff and said sorry to the kids. A week later, my kids hit me up and were like, ‘Why is Zac’s football coach living here?’ And it was my son’s PE coach, Rob. Nice guy, though! Nice guy (laughs).”[From 22:35 onwards]
Unraveling the Timeline
While the divorce seemed abrupt for Riddle, he soon realized that his ex-wife’s relationship with Rob had been ongoing for a more extended period. Despite only discovering the situation a week after the divorce, Riddle believed that the two had been together for quite some time. Shedding light on the matter, he explained:
“But this guy, I’m like, Rob, he’s a teacher, he is nice to my kids, he lives there. My ex-wife and him [sic] are together now. That was literally a week after. So that was probably going on for a minute. I was traveling and always gone.” [23:06 – 23:20].
No Hard Feelings
Surprisingly, Riddle expressed no animosity towards Rob, the PE teacher. He commended him for being a good influence on his children and treating them well. Despite the shock of the situation, Riddle maintained a positive outlook on the coach, emphasizing that Rob was a “nice guy.”
In the wake of this revelation, Matt Riddle finds himself not only navigating the complexities of post-divorce life but also grappling with the unexpected entanglements that come with it. As the public digests this surprising turn of events, Riddle’s story serves as a reminder that life’s twists and turns can be as unpredictable as the world of professional wrestling.
