Former WWE Star Matt Riddle Confirms He's Had Talks With TNA Wrestling
New York, NY - February 13, 2024 - Since his WWE departure last year, Matt Riddle has been a whirlwind, hopping between promotions like MLW, NJPW, and independents.
His tenure in NXT and on the main roster, where he even snagged the Raw Tag Team Titles with Randy Orton, was flourishing. However, things took a turn when Orton's severe back injury and substance abuse issues sidelined him for rehab last summer.
While appearing on Sunday Night's Main Event, Riddle confirmed that he had talks with TNA Wrestling.
"When I got done with WWE, it's kind of stressful working on TV all the time, especially with the travel. The money is awesome, it's definitely worth it, and the experience. Now, I want to take a break from TV. After the 90 days and during the 90 days, I'm setting some dates up. I talked to some places. I've talked to TNA, I've worked with New Japan and MLW.
You do film for TV, but it's not the same as Monday Night Raw, three hours live, anything can happen, people are changing the script. You have ten minutes for your match, now you have five minutes. It's extremely stressful. I like the pressure, but at the same time, I kind of wanted a little break from all that. I'm choosing places more pay-per-view based where I don't have to worry about going to commercial so we can get that Fritos advertisement."Transcription via Fightful
Riddle, along with other stars, was let go by WWE in the subsequent shake-up. Despite talks with various companies, including the resurgent TNA Wrestling, Riddle opted for a breather from the demanding weekly TV grind.
He's found a different pace in MLW and NJPW, which prioritize event-based schedules rather than the relentless rhythm of WWE. This allows him to showcase his talents while avoiding the burnout he experienced.
