Rumor Roundup: Why WWE Changed Matt Riddle’s Name, Triple H’s Backstage Status, More

1) Why WWE Changed Matt Riddle’s Name

News broke this week that WWE is changing the name of Matt Riddle. He is now going to be known as just ‘Riddle’.

Dave Meltzer provided an update on the change in the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter. Here is what Meltzer wrote:

The company made the decision to drop Matt Riddle’s first name, and now he’s just “Riddle.”

The story was that they wanted to not have people google “Matt Riddle” and come up with the details of the lawsuit against him and WWE.

My Take:

  • This seems like a weird decision and there is also no way that WWE will ever get the top result for ‘Riddle’. We will have to wait and see after a few weeks though how it sounds.
