Former WWE Superstar Matt Riddle is set to return to MLW. During an interview with Fox News, the Original Bro shared his thoughts on returning to wrestling.
Riddle shared that the three months away from wrestling was like a vacation and is now ready to show the world who he is outside the goofy character he portrayed in WWE.
“So, the last three months, I kinda just had my first vacation in a really long time. I had a kid. A little son, Matthew. So, it was really getting ready and kinda like a reset button. The last couple of months, I totally just didn’t want to do anything other than work out, relax and take care of my family.
“And now that (it’s) the New Year and I got that time and everything else like that, I think it’s just time to cook again and just really been focusing on that and what I want to do in the ring. I feel like before was more of a … it’s always entertainment, but it was a lot of entertainment before. And now, I think, the direction I’m going in, I’m going to be able to show the world what I can do in the ring and just present that version of myself rather than kind of a goofball on TV,” Matt Riddle said.

During the same interview, Matt Riddle mentioned that he is very excited to be returning to Major League Wrestling. He also mentioned that he wanted to wrestle Jacob Fatu for a long time and finally, he is getting the opportunity.
“I’m pretty stoked. It’s been quite a few years since I’ve wrestled for MLW. I remember having a lot of good matches with guys like Swerve (Strickland), Tom Lawlor, and others. So, pretty, pretty stoked about it.
“Then, to get to wrestle Fatu in my first match back is, yeah, I’m excited. I wanted to wrestle Fatu before I got signed by WWE before but now it’s happening. Pretty happy about it.”
The match between the two will be taking place this Saturday night.
