Former WWE star Matt Riddle seems to be now taking independent bookings for wrestling shows after exiting the Stamford-based promotion. He is apparently taking private bookings as well, including birthday parties. Recently, on social media, a video of Matt was shared in which he was seen in a wrestling outfit going towards a wrestling ring at a private party. While some people are arguing that he has actually ruined his wrestling career, others are applauding him for being so chill about everything.
Several fans are praising Riddle for being this cool
One of the commentators stated that Riddle is never known to be someone who acts like most performers, so why are people surprised that he doesn’t mind working at a birthday party of about 20 people? He is just there to put a smile on people’s faces and have fun. Another user stated that it is good for Riddle. He is a professional wrestler known worldwide and yet he decided to do this. if people are hating on this, it is straight up sad.
Another said, “I met Matt Riddle with my family and that dude was so good with my kids. I’d pay for him to come out for a birthday party. He is a legit Bro, Nice dude. One user also revealed that he met Riddle while he was still in WWE and he was great with him and stayed out to make sure everyone got autographs and pictures they wanted.
Few people didn’t back away to take a dig at former WWE star
Riddle’s name has enough popularity to say he can refuse to do this kind of work or take these kinds of bookings. If he wanted to work in AEW or TNA, he likely could have done it. But his wrestling career in WWE was made interesting by being different. It’s pretty rare to get a lot of attention on social media just to be the main attraction at someone’s birthday party.

It is easy for people to badmouth Riddle and take a dig at him because he is taking these bookings. Some fans even joked about how much he was probably getting paid and how sad it was that he is at this point in his career. But if you see the video, it is clearly visible that the former WWE superstar is having fun at the party and is enjoying it. It is easy for people to poke fun at someone who went from a big wrestling stage to someone’s birthday party. But Riddle has every right to live his life the way he wants. If he is enjoying this and making other people happy, that’s all that matters.
