WRESTLING RUMORS: WWE Had A Very Interesting Idea For Matt Riddle And Drew McIntyre

That would have been a thing. Every so often you see something pop up in WWE that makes you wonder how it could have come about. It feels like some kind of a ridiculous joke come to life but what you are seeing is real. That can make for something good or bad, but it is actually taking place in front of you. Now we know that WWE had another such idea in place before a release changed things.

Last month, WWE released Matt Riddle from his contract with the company following an incident at JFK Airport in New York City. Around the time of his release, Riddle had been teaming with a reluctant Drew McIntyre. According to WrestleVotes, WWE had several merchandise ideas planned for the team, under the name “McRiddle”. There is no word on how long the team would have been together.

Prior to his departure from the company, I’m told there were significant plans for a Matt Riddle / Drew McIntyre tag team. So much so, various merchandise items were designed with the team name……. “McRiddle.”

This is not a joke.

They worked well together. Check out the team’s limited history:

Opinion: Sure why not. This is one of those things that sounds hard to fathom but for some reason WWE thought it would have been a good idea. Riddle and McIntyre had some chemistry together, but calling them “McRiddle” might be one of the biggest stretches imaginable. Maybe WWE wouldn’t have gone all the way with the idea, but they certainly seemed to have some kind of an idea for them.

What do you think of the name? How far could the team have gone? Let us know in the comments below.
