On Wednesday, it was reported that former WWE talent Matt Riddle had no-showed a Global Wrestling Kingdom event in the UK over the weekend, which he was booked to headline. This was a particularly bad look, as the show was for charity, and Riddle hadn’t even returned his deposit. And while Riddle would go on to acknowledge this incident on X, claiming he wasn’t happy with his flight, he dismissively said, “I could explain everything in great detail. I’m not lying, but I really don’t give a f*ck anymore.”
And now the UK promotion has officially commented for the first time on their Facebook page, letting their followers know Riddle has since returned the money he was paid upfront. However, they disputed the issue regarding his flights, noting that Riddle’s manager had approved the flights five months ago and that the driver sent to collect Riddle from the airport waited several hours, as the wrestler failed to inform the promoter that he wasn’t coming.
39-year-old Riddle has often been described as his own worst enemy, as, despite being a talented MMA fighter and pro wrestler, he has managed to sabotage his careers in both industries. Yet when Riddle revealed he doesn’t care about no-showing bookings, dismissively saying, “If I miss 5 shows out of 100 in a year, eat it. I don’t care,” even his biggest supporters were shocked that he was so forthright about his unprofessionalism. Therefore, it is somewhat surprising he still gets so many bookings, although after this latest incident, he may find the offers significantly decrease.
