WWE Payback saw Matt Riddle win his main roster singles pay-per-view debut over “King” Baron Corbin. Corbin later attacked Riddle backstage after the match.
Earlier in the night, Riddle was interviewed backstage by Alyse Ashton, who brought up a tweet that Corbin had made earlier in the night. The tweet mentioned how Riddle was a failure at home, a reference to his recent admitted infidelity…
Riddle seemed shocked by the comment and went quiet before walking off… Fans on social media criticized WWE for using Riddle’s personal issues in the storylines, and potential references to his “#MeToo” accusations.
