 In the ever-evolving world of professional wrestling, where talents come and go, one name has recently emerged as a potential game-changer in the industry: Matt Riddle. The news of his release from WWE sent shockwaves through the wrestling community, but it also opened up a world of exciting possibilities. One of the most intriguing prospects is the idea of Matt Riddle joining All Elite Wrestling (AEW). In this blog, we'll explore some of the benefits that could come from such a move.



  • Fresh Matchups: AEW has been a breath of fresh air for wrestling fans, offering a unique blend of established stars and emerging talent. Matt Riddle's arrival in AEW would undoubtedly bring a slew of fresh matchups that fans have never seen before. Imagine Riddle squaring off against the likes of Kenny Omega, Darby Allin, or Jon Moxley. The potential for show-stealing matches is limitless.
  • Creative Freedom: One of the standout features of AEW is the creative freedom it grants to its talent. Wrestlers are encouraged to develop their characters and storylines, giving them a more genuine and relatable connection with the audience. Matt Riddle is known for his laid-back, yet charismatic persona, and AEW's approach would allow him to fully embrace and expand upon his unique character, making him an even bigger fan favorite.

His move to AEW could open the door to exciting new tag team combinations and rivalries, adding depth and excitement to an already competitive division. 

  • Competitive Landscape: AEW has been providing healthy competition to WWE, forcing both promotions to raise their game. Matt Riddle's move to AEW would further elevate the competition, which ultimately benefits wrestling fans. The wrestling world thrives when promotions push each other to deliver the best possible product, and Riddle's presence in AEW would contribute to this dynamic.
  • International Appeal: AEW has been successful in attracting international talent from around the world. Matt Riddle's global popularity and in-ring skills would make him a valuable addition, drawing attention not just from the United States but from wrestling fans worldwide. This could lead to expanded viewership and a broader fanbase for AEW.

His youth and undeniable talent make him a long-term investment that could pay off handsomely for AEW as they continue to grow and evolve.


In conclusion, the potential benefits of Matt Riddle joining AEW are numerous and exciting. Fresh matchups, creative freedom, tag team excellence, increased competition, international appeal, and long-term potential are all factors that make his move to AEW a tantalizing prospect for both the promotion and wrestling fans. While the future is uncertain, one thing is clear: Matt Riddle's journey in professional wrestling is far from over, and AEW could be the perfect stage for his continued success.

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 they bungled this storyline, I’m not ent

The State of Professional Wrestling - 11-29-21

     I have a lot of thoughts on the state of professional wrestling in 2021. I think it’s great that AEW is around now and that they’re presenting a great product. I think WWE has the potential not be really boring but I think the consensus is that most of the time it’s just a really boring show. I cannot tell you the last time I sat through a 3 hour Raw. Oh wait, yes I can. September, 9th, 2013 and that’s only because I was at the damn show.       WWE has a problem with stagnation. The product continually feels the same and I think there’s an obvious reason for that. WWE is too scripted. I think there’s a noticeable difference in the presentation between WWE and AEW. AEW feels like a legitimate sports show and WWE feels like broadway theatre without the music. I don’t think it’s a problem with the talent. When you go top-down, guys like Roman Reigns, Big E, Brock Lesnar, Edge, Bobby Lashley, Randy Orton, Rey Mysterio, Finn Balor, Jeff Hardy and Kevin Owens are all main event players.
