You thought I was hard to deal with, Released Superstar takes shot at WWE for signing controve

The WWE Universe got ecstatic after they witnessed the return of CM Punk at Survivor Series 2023. Several wrestlers and fans have taken to social media to react to the shocking moment. Among those, the tweet of released WWE superstar Matt Riddle has caught the attention of many fans.

As seen on ‘X’, the Original Bro called out WWE. He has done so by comparing his controversial status with that of CM Punk. Matt Riddle stated how WWE found him difficult to deal with owing to his shenanigans. Now that Punk is back, Riddle taunts his former company about their ability to handle someone more controversial than him.

Matt Riddle looked annoyed as he suggested WWE to have fun with 0-2 CM Punk. He seemingly highlighted that the Second City Saint faced termination two times by two different promotions in his career. Riddle wasn’t reluctant to express his annoyance at the signing of CM Punk by the Stamford-based promotion.

For those who don’t know, AEW fired CM Punk after what transpired at All In. It was done on the grounds of non-professional behavior with other wrestlers like the Young Bucks and Kenny Omega. Similarly, Matt Riddle’s release from WWE in September was due to his controversies, the most recent being the JFK Airport incident.

More details into Matt Riddle’s release from WWE

There was much chatter about why the Original Bro was released from WWE. He recently also reacted to the return of CM Punk to WWE. Recently, some major details have surfaced about why the Stamford-based company took such a bold step.

In a recent episode of UnSKripted by Bill Apter, he revealed how the merging of UFC and WWE under TKO precipitated the issues faster. He has suggested that UFC officials influenced the decision to release Riddle by quoting the incidents that he started while he worked with them. To quote them:

“I found out through many sources that one of the reasons that Matt Riddle was probably let go wasn’t just the JFK Airport incident. But Dana White has come out and said that he was a problem kid in MMA back then. And I think now that the companies have merged, I think it was a joint decision that if it is worth having this kid maybe give us some trouble here.”

Despite Riddle’s departure, fans get constant reminders of him. First the return of Randy Orton and then reacting to the return of the Second City Saint. Fans are getting those pangs to question how things would have been, had he stayed here. Time holds the answer whether the Original Bro would be back in time to have some time with the Viper, or have a face-off with the Best in the World.
