Matt Riddle was called out for alleged sexual misconduct during the #SpeakingOut movement by Candy Cartwright. He sued Cartwright and she then filed a lawsuit against Riddle, WWE, Evolve and more. Candy Cartwright, real name Samantha Tavel filed a lawsuit against Riddle and others, asking for $10 million each.
Part of her lawsuit stated that WWE removed her from bookings. She claimed that she has proof in the form of an email from WWE referee Drake Wuertz who also works as the Extra Talent Liaison for the company. The email, which was obtained by Babyface Vs. Heel is as follows:
“Samantha I regret to inform you that we will have to cancel your booking for this Wednesday[,] February 5th[,] as well as March 4th. Apparently there were some past issues I wasn’t aware of with you and one of our talent that would not make for an ideal work environment. Good luck to you in your career.”
Now it seems an update on the case has been provided by PW Insider, where it was reported that a judge has ruled that Tavel and Riddle’s lawsuit will continue. They are ordered to submit initial disclosures by May 21st. Discovery must be completed in this lawsuit by November 30th.
