WWE star Matt Riddle is suspended for failing a drug test as per the reports. This is allegedly not his first failed drug test of the year. As a result, attention has been called to the severity of celebrity punishment. Dave Meltzer and Bryan Alvarez recently discussed Matt Riddle’s policy violations on Wrestling Observer Radio. Meltzer said that this appears to be Matt Riddle’s second infraction. They went on to discuss the drug test policy and how WWE delivers it. The time range of violations was also called into doubt, with both parties delving more into Riddle’s story.
In the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Dave Meltzer reported that “one source close to Riddle denied the story saying he was taking time off because of pressure of going through a divorce.”
One of the fans recently noted that Riddle was suspended and agreed to rehab. He noted that one more suspension would cause him to get fired.
He was suspended. Has agreed to rehab. One more suspension and he’s fired.
Dave Meltzer went on to clarify it saying:
“They’ve changed that rule. It’s because a couple of key people have had two suspensions and we’re in a wrestling war. Plus somebody with two could intentionally fail a test to get out of their contract.”
