Matt Riddle will be out of action for at least six weeks following the assault perpetrated against him by Solo Sikoa.
On the December episode of WWE Raw, Matt Riddle was assaulted by Solo Sikoa following Riddle and Kevin Owens suffering a loss to Jimmy and Jey Uso in a Tag Team Championship match. During the attack, Sikoa utilized maneuvers made famous by Umaga such as The Samoan Spike and a Running Hip Attack on "The Original Bro."
One of those hip attacks was exasperated by the fact that Matt Riddle had a chair wrapped around his head. Now, WWE has announced on the December 9 episode of WWE SmackDown that Matt Riddle suffered a multitude of injuries including damage to his trachea and he is expected to be out of action for up to six weeks.
