[PHOTO] Matt Riddle spotted with recently released WWE star
Matt Riddle's MMA career ended a long time ago, but that doesn't necessarily mean that he has stopped honing his skills. While he regularly practices Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, he has done so alongside several other wrestlers, some of whom have been spotted in his BJJ post-session photos. This time, it was with the most recently released WWE star, Bodhi Hayward.
Bodhi Hayward was a newcomer to WWE, unlike Matt Riddle. The latter cruised through NXT before his main roster call-up, while Hayward admitted to being shocked at his release just a little over a year after signing a WWE contract and less than a year after making his debut.
As you can see in the photo posted below by Matt Riddle, the person standing, fourth from left, is the recently released Bodhi Hayward.
What a great class!!! Thank you everyone for working so hard 🤙 #bro #stallion #bjj https://t.co/e3j3JK3eQv
Despite him being understandably shocked about his release, he seems to be in good spirits. Hayward commented that there is a lot yet to learn about the wrestling business.
Matt Riddle has been in a new storyline post-Extreme Rules 2022

Despite a crucial main event victory against Seth Rollins at Extreme Rules in a Fight Pit match, it seems that the latter was the bigger beneficiary. The following RAW, Rollins defeated Bobby Lashley to become the new United States Champion.
Riddle challenged and made a failed attempt against Rollins to seemingly end their feud and is now in a storyline alongside the returning Elias against The Alpha Academy. Some fans have expressed disappointment towards WWE's poor booking of The King of Bros post-Extreme Rules.
From the looks of things, Elias has been teasing a return to his heel character. He was off TV for a long time before returning after WrestleMania 38 as Ezekiel. Ezekiel's character has been quietly scrapped in favor of The Drifter's return.
