Having been absent from this week's Raw and pulled from all live events, there's now a significant update on Matt Riddle's WWE status.
Last weekend saw Riddle allege that he was sexually assaulted by a JFK airport official in a social media post. That post was quickly deleted, though an investigation was launched into these claims. Subsequent reports claimed the former UFC star appeared to be "heavily intoxicated" upon landing at JFK.
In an update on the Original Bro's WWE status, PWInsider.com, notes that the 37-year-old is currently slated to return on next week's Raw. He'll miss this weekend's house shows, but is due to reappear on Monday night.

Most recently, Riddle has been tagging with Drew McIntyre, with many speculating that this partnership could lead to the Scottish Warrior turning heel by laying out a Riddle who he has been somewhat reluctant to tag with. Talk of just such a heel turn was furthered on this past Monday's Raw, where McIntyre showed a rather brutal edge as he bested New Day's Xavier Woods.
