Former EVOLVE personality Candy Cartwright is suing Matt Riddle, WWE, EVOLVE, and Gabe Sapolsky for $10 million each (00:35), as announced at a press conference in Chicago yesterday. Cartwright first accused Riddle of multiple instances of sexual assaults during the #SpeakingOut movement in June and will now pursue a total of $40 million across the four defendants.
We pivot over to the upcoming WWE Draft after that. Yesterday saw the promotion announce the roster reshuffle's rules and talent pools (03:39), with close to 150 names missing from the list (05:04). After running through some of the big-name absentees, we discuss what could happen to those that go undrafted.
Finally, we have an update on Samoa Joe's WWE in-ring status (08:18) at a time when the current Raw announcer hasn't wrestled since mid-February.
