Matt Riddle was written off WWE television last week due to an attack by Solo Sikoa, and it was initially thought it was simply down to an injury he needed to recover from. Now though Bodyslam.net has reported that he has failed a drugs test, the second this year, and is actually attending rehab in a “rehab or fired situation.” It was also noted that his first drugs test failure came before SummerSlam when he was meant to face Seth Rollins, but the match was postponed and moved to Clash at the Castle.
While it isn’t known what drug Riddle was found to be taking, it is known weed is no longer tested for. However, and this is unverified, there was a series of text messages shared on Twitter back in August, apparently between Riddle and an ex-girlfriend Daniela Petrow where he claimed to use coke and ecstasy. Of course, it must be stressed the validity of these texts was never proven, but it would be a shocking coincidence considering his current suspension. Hopefully, though, Riddle can get the help he needs, as he has a lot going for him as a WWE Superstar and apparently just started a new relationship with an adult movie star.
