Fightful Select has provided some details on former WWE Superstar Matt Riddle’s surprise debut at this past Friday night’s TNA Turning Point event, which took place at the Benton Convention Center in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, as part of WrestleCade weekend.
TNA Wrestling had learned earlier in day that Trey Miguel was unable to make the show due to travel issues, thus requiring a last-minute replacement.
The report notes that per TNA sources, Riddle was informed shortly before the show that he could possibly be a replacement, should he have agreed to be part of the show. It was also said TNA Wrestling officials were not overly concerned regarding Miguel not being able to make it, as there were several potential replacements available, due to being at a wrestling convention.
Fightful Select concluded that TNA representatives were said to have been satisfied with the live fan reaction to Riddle, they declined to confirm if he would make future appearances for the promotion.
