Officers Attempted To De-Escalate JFK Incident With Matt Riddle Prior To Situation Turning Physical

Matt Riddle’s incident at JFK continues to look worse for the Original Bro.

After returning from Superstar Spectacle in India earlier this week, Matt Riddle had an incident at JFK airport in which he would make a social media post after, accusing an officer of sexual assault.

Riddle would delete the post shortly after and uploaded a new one, simply stating that he was happy to be out of the airport.

Now, at this time we know more. Ringside News have provided several new details on the incident, as Riddle was reportedly heavily intoxicated and was asked to leave the area, despite his efforts to use his WWE status to get out of it.

While Riddle may have viewed it as sexual assault, one of the officers present saw things differently. They told Ringside News:

“After a few attempts of de-escalating the situation and removing Matt from the area, it became physical.”

Ringside News also noted what the reason was for JFK police being called to where Riddle was in the airport.

As noted, Riddle was returning after competing on Superstar Spectacle in India.

Riddle is currently expecting his first child with partner Misha Montana.
