WWE Star Matt Riddle Responds to No-Show Claims

In a fiery rebuttal, former WWE superstar Matt Riddle addressed accusations surrounding his absence from a charity wrestling event on August 31, 2025, aimed at supporting survivors of domestic abuse and homeless veterans. The claim surfaced from Cultaholic.com, but Riddle took to social media to clarify the situation.

"I’m going to make this quick," Riddle stated in a video response. "GWK, the reason I didn’t attend is because you scheduled a flight for me on Thursday for a Sunday show. You promised multiple meet-and-greets and appearances, but none of that was lined up. Instead, I would’ve been stuck in a hotel room for two days with nothing to do. I told you I couldn’t do that because I had bookings on Friday and Saturday. So, I ended up flying to Miami and wrestling there instead!"

Riddle further expressed his frustration over the arrangements, adding that he never refused to cover the flight costs, as claimed by the promoters. He also slammed the quality of the flight booking, describing it as "the worst flight in history"—a middle seat with no meals and no checked luggage.

Unfiltered Riddle: The Controversial Aftermath

In another follow-up video, Riddle didn’t hold back. "I could go into great detail, but honestly, I don’t care anymore. Most of you out there are gullible and believe everything without question. At the end of the day, I'm still getting booked and focusing on my career. I might even kickstart my fighting again and ramp up my activities on OnlyFans, because let's be honest—I'm doing well there too!"

Riddle was unapologetic about his stance, inviting followers who disapproved of him to unfollow. "If you don’t like me, I don’t give a f*ck. The cream rises to the top, and I’m tired of playing nice. Just keep it real; most of you don’t get it. Peace!"

With tensions high and a determined spirit, Riddle seems poised to continue making waves in the wrestling world, regardless of the controversy.
