Matt Riddle has been off TV for a while now and latest report suggests that WWE may not want to invest in him anymore.
The former NXT star was written off TV with an injury angle during the December 5, 2022 edition of Raw. Riddle had reportedly been suspended following a failed drug test and the company used the story to cover up his absence. The popular star, however, has not returned to the company more than two months after the incident, making people curious about him.
F4Wonline’s Dave Meltzer discussed Riddle’s prolonged absence recently [H/t Wrestletalk]. He said that it’s possible the company has decided not to use him during the Mania season:
‘He’s been out of rehab for a long time, his suspension has been over for almost a month now ’“ four weeks. It may be that they’ve just decided not to use him for Mania and not do anything with him,”
Has WWE Given Up On Matt Riddle?
Meltzer then also suggested the possibility that the WWE regime may have given up on the star. He wondered if the officials do not want to invest in him anymore:
“Or maybe they just don’t want to invest in him. I presume he’ll be back, but when he left they made a point of (saying) he was gonna be gone for six weeks, and we’re at about 11 or 12 weeks.’
