Matt Riddle

WWE Superstar Matt Riddle has taken to social media to claim he was sexually assaulted by a police officer at a New York airport.

The former WWE United States Champion has since removed the post from social media site Instagram but it is unclear as this stage as to whether he has withdrawn the claim. WWE has made no comment on the situation so far.

The original post was captured before deletion by Cultaholic and contained a photograph of the police officer involved in the alleged incident at John F. Kennedy Airport in New York City on Saturday.

‘The Original Bro’ claimed he was made to feel ‘small and useless’ in his now-deleted post:

“Nothing like being sexually assaulted by an officer and harassed at the jfk airport, no means no and just because I’m nice doesn’t mean yes!!! A**hole!!! Don’t know they’re Twitter or instagram handles but I took pictures, normally I’m like whatever but today was really weird and uncomfortable and they made a point to make me feel small and useless. Definitely one of the most uncomfortable travel days I’ve ever had thanks NYC you’re so progressive and accepting!”

Former UFC fighter Riddle has recently been teaming with Drew McIntyre, although the pair came up short in their most recent bout against The Viking Raiders on the September 4th edition of WWE Raw.

In recent news, an update has been provided on the sexual assault claims made by Matt Riddle.
