Report: Matt Riddle's Short Royal Rumble Appearance Due to Backstage Heat


-- Matt Riddle is said to be in the doghouse with WWE officials, perhaps even Vince McMahon. It was noted on Wrestling Observer Radio that that “there is a lot of heat” on Riddle right now and the performance at the Royal Rumble where Riddle lasted an incredibly short amount of time was due to that heat. While on the surface it seemed like Riddle was used to generate heat for King Corbin in the Rumble, Dave Meltzer said coming in and going out so quickly went far beyond that but he could not speak on his attitude backstage or provide any specific reasons why he's in this situation.
