Former WWE Superstar signs EXCLUSIVE deal with rival

Former WWE star Matt Riddle has taken a significant step in his wrestling career by signing an exclusive contract with Major League Wrestling (MLW). Following his WWE release in 2023, Riddle quickly made his presence felt in the wrestling world. Now, as the reigning MLW World Champion, this exclusive deal cements his role as the promotion’s top star.

The Details Behind Riddle’s MLW Deal

According to reports from Lucha Libre Online, Riddle’s contract, finalized in late 2024, includes provisions aligning him with MLW’s strategic partnership with CMLL. This commitment prohibits him from competing for AAA, further solidifying MLW’s focus on building alliances. While his appearances in CMLL aren’t confirmed, the agreement underscores MLW’s dedication to its collaborative vision.

A Championship Win to Kickstart a New Era

Riddle’s MLW career began with a bang when he captured the MLW World Championship by defeating wrestling legend Satoshi Kojima at the Kings of Colosseum event in Dallas. This victory not only marked Riddle as the face of the promotion but also highlighted MLW’s confidence in his star power.

Despite a less impactful stint in NJPW, Riddle’s momentum in MLW has reignited his career. Fans are now eager to see how his championship reign will elevate the promotion and his own legacy.

What’s Next for Matt Riddle and MLW?

Riddle’s exclusive deal positions him as a cornerstone for MLW’s future. His success in the promotion reflects the opportunities that second chances can bring, as MLW continues to grow in stature within the wrestling industry.
