► Matt Riddle, suspended for six weeks

Now new reports have emerged about the situation of Matt Riddleas Cassidy Haynes from Bodyslam.net reports former United States Champion failed a WWE wellness policy test, and in reality that would be the cause of his six weeks of absence. This would imply that a new violation -since it would be the second- could imply that he has to go to rehabilitation, or WWE can terminate his contract. The former was prior to SummerSlam and that was the reason why the fight against Seth Rollins in did not occur in said premium event.

«Sources have told me that the reason why Matt Riddle failed a drug test before SummerSlam, this was also the last test under the Vince McMahon regime. With Vince no longer in charge, a ‘new creative direction’ was taken regarding Riddle, and his big match against Rollins was postponed until Clash at the Castle. Also, I was told that the company informed Riddle at the time that another failed drug test would result in a ‘rehab or dismissal’ situation similar to what happened with Jeff Hardy previously.”
