Matt Riddle Lost The Tip of a Finger at EVOLVE 108

Lisa Riddle, the wife of Matt Riddle, posted the following on Instagram confirming that Matt lost the tip of one of his fingers during his EVOLVE 108 match with Shane Strickland. Riddle completed the match and worked the next day with his hand taped up…

Thank you for watching and checking in on him @prowrestling5star! Today Matt wrestled an intense hardcore match that involved tables, ladders and chairs. The first chair clip took the tip of his pointer finger off (wrong finger in my comment).😬 Blood within the first few minutes got the kids attention for sure. He explained to them today that he was going to wrestle hard, and it was going to be intense to watch. They smiled and said they couldn’t wait to see. It did rock them a little. Watching Dad get carried off like he did was not easy. Thankfully Fred got the wink he did at them on video! When he showed them how Dad gave them a wink as he was getting taken out they felt better.
