MLW Advertising Big Name Former WWE Star

Major League Wrestling sees itself as competition to WWE, although financially, they don’t have a reputation for paying big money to talents, which has restricted their growth. However, after they settled out of court with their much larger rivals following an anti-trust lawsuit, they now have money to spend and are now advertising Matt Riddle for their January 6th Kings of Colosseum show.

WWE released Riddle in September following an incident at JFK airport where he was seemingly drunk. Yet, he had already developed a poor reputation and became a headache for the company before this after being accused of sexual assault and twice failing their wellness policy. Still, he had been one of the most pushed talents on their Raw brand thanks to forming an odd couple tag team with Randy Orton, so it did surprise many when WWE decided to cut ties with him.
