Riddle had sporadic appearances this year. He was written off in the first three months of the year after getting suspended for a second time for failing a drug test, Bodyslam.net reported.
The Pennsylvania native's last appearance was on September 4 on WWE Raw, per Bleacher Report.
For now, it remains unclear where Riddle will be headed. But being a former United States and Tag Team champion, the 37-year-old is not expected to be idle for long.
