Matt Riddle, who is expected to start with WWE at NXT’s TakeOver Event in two weeks time, apparently suffered an injury by having the skin of his finger ripped of at an event this past weekend where he lost The EVOLVE Title to Shane Strickland. The skin was reportedly ripped off due a deep cut he suffered during a spot with a chair in the match. Riddle’s wife posted the Instagram message below, noting that “the first chair clip took the tip of [Riddle’s] pointer finger off.” PWInsider.com reported that Riddle was forced to pull out of some independent shows because of the injury.
Thank you for watching and checking in on him @prowrestling5star! Today Matt wrestled an intense hardcore match that involved tables, ladders and chairs. The first chair clip took the tip of his pointer finger off (wrong finger in my comment).?? Blood within the first few minutes got the kids attention for sure. He explained to them today that he was going to wrestle hard, and it was going to be intense to watch. They smiled and said they couldn’t wait to see. It did rock them a little. Watching Dad get carried off like he did was not easy. Thankfully Fred got the wink he did at them on video! When he showed them how Dad gave them a wink as he was getting taken out they felt better.
