00:00Matt Riddle's WWE career can be described as volatile at best. With a pair of failed
00:05drug tests during his tenure and a series of allegations of inappropriate conduct with women,
00:10it seemed as though every time Riddle was heating up, something outside of the ring
00:13would bring him back down to earth. Riddle was much heralded following his time on the
00:17independent circuit, and his first WWE appearance, in which he was shown as a member of the crowd at
00:23NXT TakeOver Brooklyn 4, garnered plenty of excitement. In NXT, Riddle accomplished the
00:28fastest win in the promotion's history, defeating Cassius Ohno in six seconds at TakeOver WarGames 2.
00:34Riddle's release comes after yet another incident, this time a bizarre episode at JFK Airport in New
00:40York. Despite what seems like wasted potential, WWE Hall of Famer Booker T is not at all surprised
00:46at the news of his departure.
00:47You can get away with that kind of stuff only for so long.
00:50Reports indicate that certain MMA promotions might be interested in the services of the
00:54former pro fighter, who has an 8-3 record in MMA fights.
00:58We'll see you next time.
