Matt Riddle unlikely for AEW (Patreon)

Matt Riddle is very unlikely for All Elite Wrestling.

During a recent interview with SI’s Steven Muelhausen, Riddle noted that he’s had a conversation with AEW founder Tony Khan, but that it was an awkward one. "I talked to Tony," Riddle said. "I don't know if he likes me. He seemed happy. I wrestled Zach Sabre Jr. in Chicago. He seemed cool about it. I don't know. When you meet me, I'm very sarcastic. But when I met him, I was like, ‘Oh, you like that match’? But I said it a different way, and he looked at me all confused. And I was like, ‘Never mind, dude’. I just walked away. So that was my experience with that." 

We’re told that behind the scenes Khan has not had any interest in bringing Matt Riddle into All Elite Wrestling, especially over the last number of years. It was also noted to us that AEW talent almost never works Matt Riddle on the indies, and when they do, it’s in Mexico 

Riddle had confirmed he’d had talks with TNA Wrestling, and sources there told us they’re hopeful he can appear. He’s wrestled in MLW and NJPW but does not have a contract.
