Former WWE Star Matt Riddle Attacks TMZ Podcast Host

Former WWE star Matt Riddle sparked controversy during an appearance on TMZ's Inside the Ring podcast when he attacked host Branson Quirke after being challenged on his claims about defeating Jake Paul. The confrontation escalated after Quirke suggested Riddle was merely seeking a "payday," which visibly angered Riddle, leading to a physical altercation where he shoved Quirke onto a table. Despite the aggressive exchange, both men were seen laughing during the incident, leading to speculation that the altercation might have been staged as a publicity stunt. The incident has divided fans, with some condemning Riddle's behavior and others believing it was scripted for attention. Quirke later commented on the incident on social media, indicating the attack was intense but also hinting it may have been part of a planned act. Riddle defended his wrestling career and achievements during the podcast, emphasizing his focus on upcoming matches rather than the podcast itself.
