When a fan on Twitter asked Dave Meltzer why WWE or NJPW haven’t signed Matt Riddle, he said Riddle’s marijuana usage is a possible reason. Sean “X-Pac” Waltman agree with that assessment. Riddle has been very open about his love for “the weed.” You can see their Twitter exchange below:
WWE is weird, yet, I do understand it, it’s all about the public, and sponsors. Pot use is significant in WWE, so not signing someone because they use pot is a double standard, but the difference is nobody has ion the WWE roster has the history of having wins overturned. https://t.co/9xMp9e98i0

Actually if it wasn’t for weed, he’d be the biggest star in NXT or the No. 2 or 3 foreigner in NJPW today. https://t.co/mKH3OND9oA

Has everything to do with weed.
