Matt Riddle's Sexual Assault Allegations Explored

Last year, Catwright took to Twitter to expose Riddle. She initially claimed that in 2018, the pro-wrestler allegedly sexually assaulted her in a vehicle while three of their co-wrestlers are sleeping.

The female wrestler stated that Riddle asked her to "hop on his d**k," but she refused even though they had a thing in the past because it makes her uncomfortable.

Following this, Riddle allegedly grabbed her throat and started choking her, telling her "what if I just made you?"

Catwright was allegedly forced to perform oral sex on the WWE star for her to prevent her from having intercourse with him. She described the situation as "humiliating."

"It is never ok to put your hands on a woman, it's also not ok to not listen when she says no." she concluded her Twitter thread.
