Riddle Vs Miz Match Pulled From RAW Prior To Travel Delays – The originally scheduled return match for Matt Riddle on Monday’s WWE RAW was pulled from the lineup well before the show even happened.
On Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer said he wasn’t sure why the match was canceled other than it was pulled before he had even heard about the flight problems that saw a large percentage of the roster flying out of Orlando, Florida, to Seattle not make it in time due to delays.
It was reported late-afternoon Monday that RAW had to be rewritten due to the issues.
The Miz wasn’t in attendance at RAW and even if he had been, Meltzer speculated the match would have likely been pulled due to the delays as Riddle was one of the wrestlers affected.
Meltzer also said Rhea Ripley, Damian Priest, Sami Zayn, and the Street Profits were part of the delayed travel group.
Riddle and Zayn did appear in the show-closing segment, running from outside the arena inside the building to help Kevin Owens from a beatdown from The Bloodline.
The Miz match was to be Riddle’s first televised match since early-December 2022.
