Matt Riddle Claims He Was Sexually Assaulted At JFK Airport

WWE superstar Matt Riddle recently shared a distressing experience he had at JFK Airport in New York involving an incident of sexual assault and harassment. Matt Riddle, known as ‘The Original Bro,’ is a highly popular WWE wrestler known for his distinctive wrestling skills and way of talking. He has a significant fan base and became even more beloved when he teamed up with Randy Orton in WWE. However, his fame didn’t shield him from a terrible encounter with a police officer at JFK Airport. Riddle recently posted a photo of a police officer on his official Instagram account, where he accused the officer of sexually assaulting him. He revealed that this incident left him feeling extremely uncomfortable, small, and worthless. In his caption, he expressed his frustration: “It’s a terrible feeling when you experience sexual assault by an officer and harassment at JFK Airport. It’s important to remember that ‘no’ means ‘no,’ and being polite doesn’t imply consent! This person was incredibly disrespectful. I don’t know their Twitter or Instagram handles, but I took pictures. Normally, I would let things slide, but today was exceptionally unsettling. They deliberately made me feel inferior and powerless. This has been one of my most uncomfortable travel days ever. Thanks, NYC, for being so progressive and accepting!” Currently, Matt Riddle is partnered with Drew McIntyre in a tag team. He also participated in the WWE Superstar Spectacle on September 8th at the G.M.C. Balayogi Indoor Stadium in Hyderabad, India. Unlike the previous edition in 2021, this was a live event. Riddle, along with Drew McIntyre, Kevin Owens, and Sami Zayn, secured a victory against Jinder Mahal and Indus Sher. During the event, Riddle and his colleagues got into the ring and even performed the Bhangra dance. The fans in attendance showered him with a massive round of applause. We will continue to provide updates on Matt Riddle’s situation as more information becomes available.
