Matt Riddle Written Off Because of Wellness Violation

Matt Riddle Written Off Because of Wellness Violation - Come Back Better Than Ever!

It sounds like Matt Riddle was written off WWE TV because he failed a WWE wellness test. This is a significant blow to Riddle, who has been a rising star in the WWE and was reportedly set to play a major role in upcoming events.

According to reports, this wouldn’t be the first failure of a test for Riddle. The reason his match with Seth Rollins was reportedly pushed back was because he flunked a wellness test in the summer.

WWE has a strict wellness policy in place to ensure the health and safety of its wrestlers. The policy includes regular testing for performance-enhancing drugs, as well as other substances that are banned by the organization. Wrestlers who fail these tests face penalties, including suspension and fines.

It is not yet clear what substance Riddle tested positive for, or what the consequences of his failed test will be. It’s worth noting that marijuana isn’t part of WWE’s banned list anymore. Even then, it’s been a fine for wrestlers instead of a suspension for cannabis in the past.

This is a major setback for both Riddle and the WWE. Riddle has been a fan favorite due to his impressive in-ring abilities and unique style, and his absence will no doubt be felt by fans and fellow wrestlers alike.

This is not the first time that a wrestler has failed a WWE wellness test. In the past, several high-profile wrestlers, including Roman Reigns and Jeff Hardy, have been suspended for violating the policy. However, the impact of Riddle's failed test is particularly significant given his rising star status in the organization.

According to reports he is attending rehab. We wish the best for Matt Riddle. That’s a really hard thing to be dealing with and I hope he comes back better than ever. We saw Jon Moxley go to rehab earlier in the year and he came back to become a 2X AEW World Champion.

It remains to be seen how the WWE will handle the situation, and what the consequences will be for Riddle. In the meantime, fans will be eagerly awaiting further developments and hoping for a resolution that allows Riddle to return to the ring and continue entertaining them with his signature brand of wrestling.

Book This Episode 1: The Summer of Punk Rebooked Prelude

Let’s go back to 2011, specifically June of 2011. CM Punk’s contract is expiring soon and he’s getting ready to have the biggest run of his career. On June 27th, 2011 CM Punk would cut a promo that would have the wrestling world buzzing for years to come. In his promo, Punk said that his contract expired next month and that he, the Number One Contender, would be leaving WWE with the WWE Championship. He’d also go onto take shots at not only his opponent the following month, John Cena but other icons in the history of WWE. Whether employed by the company or not. He’d also tease defending his WWE Championship in Ring of Honor and New Japan Pro Wrestling. Essentially he’d be a travelling World Champion, ala the territory days. Well, CM Punk did win the WWE Championship the next month from John Cena at Money in the Bank. However, what would happen after would disappoint wrestling fans more than anything else that’s happened in years. How t...

If John Cena Beats Cody Rhodes he Technically Becomes an 18-Time World Champion

John Cena won the Elimination Chamber on Saturday night and secured an Undisputed WWE Championship match against Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania this April. What followed was a shocking heel turn that fans have wanted for years. That’s not what I’m talking about here. We’re talking about how John Cena will technically become an 18-time World Champion if he beats Cody Rhodes. That would put him two ahead of Ric Flair. Ever since Roman Reigns beat Brock Lesnar to unify the WWE Championship and the Universal Championship. From that point on, WWE recognized Roman as having two Championship reigns. With the Universal Championship and with the WWE Championship. Same with Cody Rhodes when he beat Reigns for the Undisputed Championship at last year’s WresteMania. If you look at WWE’s website it shows two concurrent reigns for Cody. If Cena beats Cody it’s always possible that WWE in the future recognizes this as one World Title reign instead of two. There’s a few of Flair’s reign...

Bobby Lashley Issues Warning to Jon Moxley

Bobby Lashley debuted in All Elite Wrestling on October 30th last year, rejoining his former WWE stablemates MVP and Shelton Benjamin, forming The Hurt Syndicate. Lashley and The Hurt Syndicate are one of the hottest acts in AEW right now with Lashley and Benjamin winning the World Tag Team Titles last month. It’s inevitable that Bobby Lashley will get a World Championship shot at some point. He’s very over right now and a legit main event talent. Lashley gave a warning to AEW World Champion Jon Moxley when speaking to the Sporting Tribune . Lashley said it’s only a matter of time till they face off but he’s focused on his tag team right now. Lashley said that when Jon Moxley sees him in the locker room, he stays clear of him. Despite being cheered like a babyface, Bobby Lashley is a heel and Jon Moxley is also a heel so I don’t see them facing off soon. But I like the idea of a Moxley/Lashley match whether it’s for the Title or not. Saying that, I’d also be a fan of Bo...
