Matt Riddle Accuses Airport Security Officer of Assaulting Him

Update: We were told that multiple attempts were made to de-escalate the situation with Matt Riddle before things got physical. It was also told to us that Matt Riddle appeared to be “heavily intoxicated” at the time. Riddle then brushed off a suggestion to lodge a formal complaint. He was allegedly disruptive and caused officers to be called. Also, Riddle tried to use his WWE status to get leeway. He has since deleted the post about the accusation.

Original: Matt Riddle wasted very little time in becoming a big star in WWE, but his life outside the ring has never failed to be problematic. Fans are aware that Riddle has his fair share of personal issues and it appears he claimed he was assaulted by an airport security officer recently.

Matt Riddle was removed from television after failing a second drug test and has also been involved in a number of controversies on social media related to infidelity, among other things. 

After a long hiatus, Matt Riddle returned on the RAW after WrestleMania 39. Since then, he has been a staple of WWE television but hasn’t quite reached the heights he should have by now. Riddle took to his Instagram and uploaded a post, where shared a picture of an officer and claimed that the officer sexually assaulted him at the JFK International Airport.

Nothing like being sexually assaulted by an officer and harassed at the jfk airport, no means no and just because I’m nice doesn’t mean yes!!! A****** !!! Don’t know they’re Twitter or instagram handles but I took pictures, normally I’m like whatever but today was really weird and uncomfortable and they made a point to make me feel small and useless. Definitely one of the most uncomfortable travel days I’ve ever had thanks NYC you’re so progressive and accepting!

Matt Riddle was also part of the WWE Superstar Spectacle event in India earlier this week. This is a very unfortunate ordeal Matt Riddle had to deal with and we hope he never has to face such a thing ever again.

What do you think of what Matt Riddle had to say? Do you think he should press charges? Let us know in the comments.
