WWN Live sent out the following presser, providing an update on Matt Riddle’s status for the upcoming EVOLVE live events after several reports surfaced saying he may be headed to WWE:
EVOLVE Champion Matt Riddle has been the subject of rumors. Riddle is confirmed for all four August EVOLVE events, where he will defend the championship at EVOLVE 108 against Shane Strickland in a Hardcore Rules Match on August 4th in Philadelphia. If Riddle is successful, he will defend vs. Darby Allin at EVOLVE 110 on August 11th in Chicago. Riddle is set for non-title action vs. Austin Theory at EVOLVE 109 in Melrose, MA and JD Drake at EVOLVE 111 in Livonia, MI. If Riddle is still EVOLVE Champion after August, he will be added to additional dates. Riddle is currently scheduled to miss the September weekend due to previously approved personal obligations.
As previously reported here on eWrestlingNews.com, Riddle has been pulled from several Over the Top Wrestling events in Ireland during WWE SummerSlam weekend. He has also been pulled from the PWG Battle of Los Angeles live events over the past several days.
