For the first time since the December 5, 2022 episode of WWE Raw, Matt Riddle made his return to WWE on Monday night’s Raw. Riddle will face The Miz on next Monday’s Raw.
Below is an excerpt from Mike Tedesco’s WWE Raw recap of how it all went down.
The Miz is in the ring. Miz asks if they enjoyed WrestleMania. Miz says all the surprises were for him. Miz had three matches at WrestleMania against four people. Miz had to fight off George Kittle and Pat McAfee. Then he had to face “Jumping” Shane McMahon, who Miz beat so badly he couldn’t finish the match. Then the Dogg Father of WrestleMania Snoop Dogg sucker punched him and hit the worst-looking People’s Elbow. Surprise! Miz is still here. Miz is done with surprises.
Matt Riddle’s music hits! Riddle comes out to a big ovation. Riddle gets in the ring and says, “Surprise! Did you miss me?” Miz attacks him from behind and punches away at him. Miz takes off his jacket, but Riddle punches back and hits a Ripcord Knee to the face. Riddle then connects with Bro Derek and celebrates with the crowd.
Riddle was written off WWE television back on the December 5 episode of Raw, when he was taken out by Solo Sikoa. Riddle was written off TV due to failing a second drug test.
Also announced for next week is WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions Becky Lynch and Lita (c) defending against Raquel Rodriguez & Liv Morgan.
