Wrestlers spending times in rehabs are nothing new. Veteran performer Jeff Hardy’s demons are already well known. WWE superstar Matt Riddle has had a great run on the main roster ever since his electrifying debut back in 2020.
Particularly his team-up with The Viper Randy Orton has been exemplary, to say the least. However, his progress is bogged down by constant run-ins with the promotion’s wellness policy. The Ultimate Bro’s recent social media post has raised fans’ hope of an awaited return.
The wrestler’s in-ring ability has never been in doubt. He has stood his own while battling seasoned professionals like Roman Reigns and AJ Styles.

It’s what he does in his free time that gets many of his well-wishers worried. Riddle was sent to rehab last month for his second breach of the Wellness Policy. His recent post on Twitter along with his family has raised hope that he is on the right track.
Matt Riddle seems to be on the correct path
“So happy to be back with my family and to enjoy sushi with them. Hope everyone is having a great day #stallion #family #love” posted the wrestler. Riddle celebrated his birthday on Saturday as he turned 37 years old. There cannot be a better way than to be around loved ones near to the occasion.

He was destroyed by The Bloodline’s Enforcer Solo Sikoa in December to write him off TV for the aforementioned violations. The former MMA fighter struggled with addiction previously, which led to his removal from the juggernaut UFC back in 2013.
Brock Lesnar and Ken Shamrock are the gold standards when it comes to wrestlers turning into top MMA athletes.
His work with the former tag team champions RK-Bro was very well received within all quarters. Along with an experienced player like Orton, he certainly came to his own. The Legend Killer is himself nursing a serious back injury.
Riddle has also impressed many in single competitions with his great agility and ring work. He has been among the best-emerging talents across the industry.
