Matt Riddle isnt holding back when it comes to his future in wrestlingor how he sees himself in the industry.
Since his WWE release in September 2023, Riddle has been grinding nonstop, making waves in MLW, NJPW, and the independent scene. Now holding the MLW World Heavyweight Championship, hes racking up matches across the globe, but that doesnt mean hes closed the door on a WWE return.
Speaking on Stories With Brisco and Bradshaw, Riddle made it clear hed go back to WWE in a heartbeat if the opportunity came up. I would love to go back to WWE one day eventually, maybe soon. But the thing is, whatever they want. Its not up to me, thats their decision. If it was up to me, I would have been there yesterday. I never would have left.
Until that call comes, Riddle is staying busy. Until then, Im going to win every championship possible, Im going to wrestle everywhere under the sun, in every country. Just in the next couple months, Im gonna probably go to eight different countries, wrestle 20-30 different places, and do my thing.
He also reflected on his place in wrestling, comparing himself to a cult classicthe kind of star who may not be for everyone, but has a dedicated following. Im not everybodys taste, their cup of tea. But when I am, Im definitely your cup of tea, you definitely want to see me. Im like a B-rate horror movie people love, like Evil Dead or Buffy The Vampire Slayer. Im not mainstream all the time, but I touch mainstream, and I have a following that will follow me, probably for a long, long time.
For now, Riddle is doing what he does bestkeeping the grind alive and staying in motion. Whether he makes his way back to WWE or continues dominating across MLW and beyond, one things for sure: love him or hate him, hes not going anywhere. The Original Bro is still rolling, and if WWE ever picks up the phone, hell be ready.
Do you think Riddle will find his way back to WWE, or is he better off carving his own path? Drop your thoughts below!
