Matt Riddle tweeted out a thank you recently while showing off his new grill. He wanted to thank everyone for their support during this time, and he also mentioned his recent recovery.
The Wrestling Observer Newsletter also noted that Matt Riddle’s situation is proof that WWE has changed their policy. They did not publicly announce Riddle’s Wellness Policy failure, as they have done in the past.
Riddle has now been gone more than 60 days, which would be the suspension for a second drug test failure. He wasn’t gone 30 days for the first one, but was gone close to 30 days. His injury angle was 12/5 and they said he’d be gone for six weeks, but we’re not coming up on 11 weeks and on 2/3 he’d have been eligible to return. His name is never mentioned, although when guys are out like that they usually don’t mention them so the return can be a surprise. It does mean the policy has changed because the company didn’t announce the suspension nor did they announce the alleged first one
WON
WWE has no current plan for Riddle at WrestleMania 39. Only time will tell what changes, but it seems that Riddle is going to continue focusing on himself for a while.
