In a surprising turn of events, former WWE star Matt Riddle has left the wrestling community in shock with a recent revelation about his departure from the wrestling giant. Fans took to social media to express their astonishment after learning the details surrounding Riddle’s exit from World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE).
Riddle, who joined WWE in 2018 and gained popularity with his “Bro” gimmick, was released from the company in September 2023 following the merger of WWE and UFC under the TKO Group Holdings. The unexpected revelation came during an interview with Ariel Helwani on The MMA Hour, where Riddle admitted to failing multiple serious drug tests during his time with WWE.
WrestleOps’ official Twitter account shared updates on the interview, triggering a wave of reactions from fans. Many couldn’t help but draw parallels to a previous incident involving Roman Reigns, who publicly apologized for a failed drug test. This raised questions among fans about the transparency of WWE in handling such matters.
During the interview, Riddle opened up about his personal life, revealing that his ex-wife had asked for a divorce and, to his surprise, had his son’s PE coach living in their house shortly afterward. The revelation added a personal touch to the story, with Riddle sharing, “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).”
Despite the controversial comments, some fans speculate on Riddle’s potential return to WWE in the future. It remains to be seen whether the Stamford-based promotion would consider re-signing the star given the circumstances surrounding his departure.
