Former United States Champion Matt Riddle is currently missing in action following the attack from Solo Sikoa on a recent edition of Monday Night Raw. The Original Bro and Kevin Owens teamed up and squared off against the Usos for the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championships in a losing effort. After the match concluded, Riddle was attacked by Sikoa who delivered a damaging Samoan Spike and two running Samoan wrecking ball to Riddle. Following the incident, Riddle was wheeled out of the arena on a stretcher.
WWE reported that Riddle would be absent from TV tapings for six weeks. This also trumps the likelihood of him competing in the forthcoming Royal Rumble PLE. While we know that Riddle is on the shelf as reported by the company, the real reason for his absence is failing his drug test for the second time.
As previously reported by Bodyslam.net, his first failed drug test was during the lead-up to SummerSlam earlier this year. Riddle was also reportedly warned by the company that if he fails again, he would either be fired or sent to rehab. Fortunately, Riddle is booked to spend six weeks in rehab to get clean.
Adult movie star comments on her relationship with Matt Riddle
Despite having a great career in WWE, Riddle’s personal life has been rather tumultuous. Earlier this year, the King of Bros got out of a failed marriage with his ex-wife Lisa Rennie. In addition, he was accused of s**ual assault by an indie female talent Candy Cartwright.
Now it seems as if there is a laundry list of women who have Riddle in their crosshairs. Adult film star Jordan Maxx took to her Twitter to state that Riddle and she were in a romantic relationship and that she caught him cheating on her with another woman from her industry, Misha Montanna.
Does it make you feel better about yourself to kick people when they’re down?
Try to imagine for one second, the man you’ve spent the last 6 months with, who said “I love you” for the first time 2 months ago, is all of a sudden making out with someone else WHO IS IN YOUR (1/2) https://t.co/sd2RGAbH2s

INDUSTRY, and then, rather than keeping plans for Christmas and NYE, he’s going to rehab?
Do you have any idea how confusing and hurtful that is? (2/2)

I do hope that he takes rehab seriously and gets the help he so desperately needs so that he can be the best version of who he is for his future partners, his kids, and himself

Ringside news previously shared screenshots from Misha Montanna’s Instagram handle where she was seen kissing Matt Riddle. Jordan Maxx took to her Twitter to express her disappointment in Riddle.
According to Maxx, Riddle and she have been in a relationship for the past six months. She also stated that she was sad about the fact that Riddle is spending time in rehab instead of making plans for Christmas and New Year’s Eve with her.

Riddle’s first failed drug test around SummerSlam resulted in a postponement of his match against Seth Rollins. His second failed drug test has resulted in a suspension for the second time.
