Matt Riddle Gives Details on His 2024 Plans Concerning Wrestling: “Taking It Day by Day”

2023 is about to end and the new year is well on the horizon, which brings in a lot of questions about what fans could expect from their favorite stars in the coming year.  This question in particular is for the stars who were released by WWE this year. While Mustafa Ali gave updates on his jam-packed 2024, former WWE star, Matt Riddle spotted some light on his 2024 schedule.

Matt Riddle’s plans for 2024

Matt Riddle was recently present at the 15th Annual World MMA Awards. There he was asked by Cageside Press about his plans for 2024. When asked what fans can expect from him in 2024, he said, “2024 is a big year, I’m going to keep pro wrestling.” The star stated that he will be continuing with pro wrestling. He also added that there will be quite a few overseas shows next year. While he might be going overseas for shows, his first bout after his WWE release will be at the 2300 Arena in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

It was reported that the star has signed with New York-based promotion Major League Wrestling after six years. Previously, the 37-year-old star had participated in a few shows from 2015 to 2017. He is set to face off against Jacob Fatu at the MLW King of Colosseum on January 6, 2024.

He also sent a message to fans who have been worrying about his whereabouts. “I’m good, just hanging out, just had my fourth child little Matthew, this is big Matthew.” He further added that he is excited for the upcoming year. Even though it is a new year, he stated, “Definitely not a new me, but I would say a more improved me.” The King of Bros signed off by saying, “That’s it dude, just having fun and taking it day by day.”

Riddle made a name for himself at WWE for his carefree attitude. He is often known for his unique way of wrestling barefoot. While this made many not take him seriously, he proved them wrong on several occasions. While his singles career is loved by fans, his pairing with Randy Orton was the highlight. The two formed RK-Bro and fans believed they complemented each other quite well with their contrasting personalities.

Riddle was one of many stars who were released in September 2023. The mass release happened following WWE’s merger with UFC and was cited to be a part of major budget cuts. Let’s just hope his MLW venture is as illustrious as his WWE. Do you think Riddle could go on to win solo championships at MLW?
