On his Grilling JR podcast, AEW personality Jim Ross shared his thoughts on the potential of former WWE star Matt Riddle joining AEW.
JR said, โI donโt know if thereโs an opportunity there or not. If they decided โ I would suggest that heโd be given a shot. I understand Tonyโs reluctance because Matt has a little baggage. How much that baggage weighs, I donโt know, but I know heโs a very talented kid, got a great look. Heโs got that Kevin Von Erich look. He wrestles barefoot.
Iโll never say never, I donโt know that itโs even on the drawing board, have no idea, thatโs a Tony Khan thing, not nothing Iโm involved in. Whatever Tony Khan does, Iโll do my best to make it work in my role. You canโt never turn your back on talented wrestlers who are still, I guess Matt Riddle is still in his early 30s, late 20s. He looks good, heโs got a unique style, heโs got good charisma. He brings something to the table and I learned from the cowboy many many years ago, Bill hired guys he didnโt like at all, but he knew they drew money. So, thatโs what his priority, which it should have been, he was a one man band. Bringing guys in that would draw money would just help everybody, help everybody in the card when you stop to think about it.โ
