WWE legend and 6-time world champion Booker T opened up about Riddle’s ring name being shortened oh his podcast and gave his thoughts:
Possible reason why WWE changed Matt Riddle’s ring name
A report from Fightful Select said that a possible reason behind Matt Riddle’s ring name getting shortened to just “Riddle” was possibly done to give his character a more serious edge.
Dave Meltzer also gave update on the matter and said that a possible reason for the change was to stop fans who Google “Matt Riddle” from getting details of the lawsuit filed against him and WWE by independent wrestler Candy Cartwright:
Matt Riddle was recently drafted to RAW from SmackDown in the WWE Draft. He was the #8 draft pick on the second night of the draft. Riddle recently faced former WWE Champion Sheamus on RAW to see which of them would be part of the men’s Survivor Series team for the red brand. Sheamus ended up winning to book his spot at the Survivor Series PPV.
