Trivia / Matt Riddle

• Breakup Breakout: After being released from UFC, most didn't expect Matt to become one of the most popular independent wrestlers in the world.
• Hostility on the Set: With his training partners in the Performance Center, who apparently stopped giving him rides at some point. Tommaso Ciampa in particular had harsh words against him.
  • Had previous hostility with Dana White during his time in the UFC too, with Dana considering him an idiot for constantly failing drug tests despite knowing that at the time the drug tests always took place before fights, so he should know in advance to be sober. The fact that his firing from WWE happened shortly after WWE and UFC merged wasn't lost on people.
