Former WWE star Matt Riddle reflected on his tumultuous time with the company, emphasizing how the demanding travel schedule contributed to personal struggles, including his divorce in March 2022. Despite professional success, including holding multiple championships, Riddle stated that the constant travel left him with little time for family, leading to a deteriorating home life. Following his release in September 2023, Riddle expressed relief and noted he is now in a 'way different place' both personally and professionally. He is currently involved with various wrestling promotions, including Major League Wrestling and New Japan Pro Wrestling, where he feels he has more creative control over his persona. Riddle is focused on being taken seriously in his combat sports career and aims to showcase his background effectively. He also mentioned maintaining a good relationship with former WWE colleague Randy Orton, despite his current commitments.
