This was reportedly a shot at Matt Riddle's past sexual assault accusations, which he denied before revealing that he had cheated on his wife. Dave Meltzer discussed this on the Wrestling Observer Radio and Vince McMahon's mentality behind having the real-life aspect brought into storylines and why it won't benefit Matt Riddle's WWE run in any way:
"Vince McMahon, a lot of these storylines are taken from Vince McMahon’s life, right? So, Vince McMahon in his own life has been accused of things many times which in his mind I’m sure he didn’t do — I’m sure many of them he didn’t do, I don’t know about all, but many of them. Maybe he’s like putting Matt Riddle in this position to stand up, but it’s not like you’re going to really do it because you’re not going to — what you’re going to do a story where it’s all false or something? You can’t do that story. You’re just inviting people to learn about something that’s not going to benefit [Riddle] or you in way, shape, or form.”
We hope this isn't true because it will be extremely detrimental to Matt Riddle's WWE run.
