The #SpeakingOut movement has taken the Wrestling Community by storm in the past two days. Matt Riddle is one of the many wrestlers who have been accused of sexual abuse and misconduct.
Riddle’s allegations came from an indie wrestler by the name of Candy Cartwright. However, since then, Riddle has come forth by denying the allegations and saying that the accuser has been stalking him for years. He also said that his lawyer as well as WWE are looking into this matter.

Soon, Riddle’s attorney posted a press release on his behalf about the incident. The Statement said that Cartwright has been stalking Riddle and his family for years.
The law firm has been trying to legally deal with Cartwright since 2019.

This situation didn’t hinder with Riddle’s SmackDown debut because the show was pre-taped. Riddle made a big statement on the show by pinning the Intercontinental Champion AJ Styles in his first match.
