WWE Hypes Matt Riddle's SmackDown Debut For Tonight

There have been some incorrect reports going around on WWE possibly pulling Matt Riddle's SmackDown debut from tonight's show but that is not the case.

The incorrect reports stem from the assumption that WWE pulled Riddle's preview blurb from tonight's official SmackDown debut. While the debut was announced last Friday night on FOX, Riddle's website teaser preview was never pulled because it was never added. WWE didn't add the announcement for Riddle's SmackDown debut until this afternoon.

Below is the full teaser blurb issued today on Riddle's debut:
