It was reported by Cultaholic.com that former WWE star Matt Riddle no-showed a wrestling event on Sunday, August 31st 2025 that was raising money for charities in support of survivors of domestic abuse as well as homeless veterans. In a video published to Twitter/X, Riddle issued a response to the claim…

“I’m going to make this quick. GWK. The reason I didn’t go is because you booked me a flight for Thursday for a show that was happening Sunday, and you said you were booking me meet-and-greets, other matches and appearances. You did none of that. I had nothing scheduled, and I was going to sit in a hotel room for two days in London. I told you multiple times I can’t do that or wouldn’t do that. And I got work for Friday and Saturday. And Thursday, I worked Thursday, Friday, Saturday. And I told you I would fly to London Saturday evening. You said you paid for it. I go, ‘No, you paid for it. Take it out of my pay. Whatever.’ You guys refuse. So I flew to Miami and wrestled there. All right? I never said I wouldn’t pay you guys back. That’s a lie. Also, this show wasn’t a charity event. That’s a lie. That was a last second change. You also booked me the worst flight in history, bro. Middle seat, no meal, no checked bag. GWK, this is probably your last run.”

Riddle then provided follow-up comments in another video…

“You know, I could explain everything in great detail. I’m not lying, but I really don’t give a f*ck anymore. Most of you motherf*ckers are dumb f*cking c*nts, just like when you believe that ‘me too’ bullsh*t, all the other f*cking garbage. You guys are all f*cking dumb, and it’s f*cking insane. It’s f*cking insane. F*cking believe these f*cking creeps? Whatever, dog. At the end of the day, I’m going to keep getting booked. I’m probably going to start fighting again. I’m probably going to do a lot of other shit, f*cking crushing on OnlyFans because I’ve got a big f*cking you know what, and I’m nice as f*ck, dude. Everybody, if you don’t like me, unfollow. Go f*ck yourselves, all right? I don’t give a f*ck because at the end of the day, the cream f*cking rises to the top, and I’m really, really tired of trying to be nice to everybody because I hate to break it to you. Most of you guys are f*cking morons. Peace.”
