Matt Riddle Tried To Use WWE Status As He Refused Airport Security’s Request During Incident

Matt Riddle had quite a story to tell about his experience at JFK airport, and he wasn’t happy about it. He accused airport security of sexually assaulting him, but we have a bit more information about the situation that the Original Bro did not initially share.

Ringside News received word from an officer who was at the scene. We were told that Matt Riddle was “incredibly intoxicated” at the time of the incident. This was something that Riddle left out of his Instagram post.

We were further told that Matt Riddle refused to leave the area. He also explained that he was a WWE Superstar coming back from India, but that didn’t change the officers’ minds about how to deal with things.

Upon arrival Matt looked intoxicated and his words at times felt slowed/slurred. We informed him several times that he’s been asked to be removed from the area, to a negative response from him every time. He did explain that he was a WWE Superstar and was coming back from India after a show.

Ringside News will have all of that information as it is released.
