In a pattern that seems all too familiar from WWE, the company has decided to drop Matt’s first name and simply call him “Riddle” moving forward. This is similar to how WWE has handled various characters in the past, such as changing “Antonio Cesaro” to simply “Cesaro”, for example.
Riddle replied to the name change on social media by stating the following:
People it’s okay I’ve been called Riddle most my life, I actually prefer it and it’s my real last name 🤙 #bro #stallion #RIDDLE
