More News On Matt Riddle Following WWE Name Change

Some more news and details have been revealed following the recent name change of WWE star Matt Riddle who is now just Riddle.

As we’ve already covered, it was said that Riddle impressed with his match against Sheamus last Monday on Raw, and now we know some more insight into that.

Speaking on Monday Night Live, Sean Ross Sapp said:

“I heard from several wrestlers who were like, ‘Yeah, we thought he was going to be po-faced because he was going to lose to Sheamus really quick after debuting on Raw. We thought he was just going to go out there and mope around but he didn’t, he went out there and made Sheamus look really great.’ Sheamus was thankful of that and, apparently when they came through, Vince McMahon was very fired up about it.

“I do know that they had pitched a more serious thing and apparently a little bit of a push, it would not surprise me to see him and on Team Raw as early as tonight even though he already lost to Sheamus – but yeah, things looking good for Matt Riddle.”

It’s also been reported that the actual reason for the name change relates to the sexual misconduct allegations and legal issues surrounding Matt Riddle and the company basically not wanting people to be greeted with that when they google him.
