Matt Riddle's Wrestling Comeback: From WWE to UFC and MLW

Former WWE star Matt Riddle is open to making a return to the UFC, nearly 10 years after leaving the sport for professional wrestling. Riddle, who had a promising career in MMA before being released from the UFC due to drug test failures and a feud with Dana White, is now in talks with several MMA promotions about booking a real fight. Despite their past issues, Riddle holds no grudge against White and is willing to work with him again if the opportunity is right. Riddle sees his feud with White as a positive, as it brought attention to him and helped shape his "bro" character in professional wrestling.
