Dave Meltzer noted in the latest issue of his Wrestling Observer Newsletter that the former WWE Superstar has received interest from multiple MMA and pro wrestling promotions following his release from the company.
According to the report, Bare Knuckle Fighting Championships (BKFC) and PFL have expressed interest in acquiring the services of Riddle, as have many pro wrestling promotions.
AEW was not specifically mentioned, however Meltzer did note that Tony Khan could very well be interested in bringing him into the company.

ROH will air a new episode of its weekly television show tonight at 7 pm ET on HonorClub.
You can sign up for the streaming service here. Below is the lineup for the show:
Following a contract signing segment between Swerve Strickland and Hangman Page that main evented this week’s episode of AEW Dynamite, the cameras panned backstage where Jay White was being assaulted by a man wearing MJF’s devil mask.
The show closed with several people attacking White in the backstage area before the cameras faded to black. The segment saw White being thrown onto a production cart, and then the masked man grabbed the camera to end the show.
As of this writing, there is no word on who the attacker is.
The devil mask was reminiscent of MJF’s own; the AEW World Champion calls himself “The Devil,” and he has worn the mask several times. He introduced it at AEW All Out 2022, where a group of masked individuals helped him win the Casino Ladder Match. This faction was later revealed to be The Firm. The group included Stokely Hathaway, Lee Moriarty, Colten Gunn, Austin Gunn, Ethan Page, and W. Morrissey.
No members of the group on Wednesday were identified. However, it’s easy to connect MJF to the attack. He and White got into a heated exchange earlier in the show. White set his sights on the world title, criticized MJF, and make it clear that he intends to dethrone the champion.
It’s worth noting that Edge’s WWE contract expires at the end of September. The AEW WrestleDream pay-per-view event takes place the following day on October 1st.
