Given Matt Riddle’s controversial reputation and the nature of his firing, some fans wondered whether the former WWE star would have trouble getting bookings in the future following his WWE release. Yet that doesn’t appear to be a problem, as since his non-compete expired, he has wrestled for AAA, MLW, The Crash, and New Japan.
However, one of his latest bookings has come as a surprise to fans, with him partnering with Valley Wrestling Connection to wrestle during a birthday party. And while this unexpected turn of events likely has some fans believing this illustrates his fall from grace, it’s almost certain he was very well-paid, with it previously claimed online his minimum booking fee is $2000.
After being fired by WWE last year, 38-year-old Riddle has been rebuilding his pro wrestling career on the indie circuit, working most weekends all over the country. Yet he recently had to miss some dates due to suffering a concussion in a car accident, although given he wrestled El Hijo del Dr. Wagner Jr. for AAA over the weekend, it appears he has recovered.
