Matt Riddle has been on hiatus from WWE since December, when he was written off television after being attacked by Solo Sikoa during an episode of RAW.
This was done due to him failing a second drug test that year and going to rehab. He was supposed to be away for six weeks, but that timeline has since come and gone.
On the most recent episode of Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer talked about where things stand. He said,
“Riddle has not been back. He’s been out of rehab for a long time, his suspension has been over for almost a month now, four weeks. So it may be that they’ve just decided not to use him for ‘Mania and not do anything with him, or maybe they just don’t want to invest in him. I presume he’ll be back, but when he left they made a point of he was gonna be gone for six weeks, and we’re at about 11 or 12 weeks.”
