Former pro wrestler Candy Cartwright has dropped her lawsuit against WWE star Matt Riddle.

TMZ first reported the news that Cartwright (real name Samantha Tavel) filed for a dismissal on Monday. It's unknown what precipitated the decision or whether there was a financial settlement.

Cartwright's attorney told TMZ, "The parties have put this in their past and are focused on the future."

The suit was filed last October and included Riddle, WWE, EVOLVE, and Gabe Sapolsky. The other defendants were dropped from the suit since then.

She alleged that she and Riddle were in a van in 2018 with three other wrestlers. After the others had fallen asleep while traveling, Riddle overtly propositioned her for sex. She refused, but said Riddle grabbed her throat and threatened her with "What if I just made you?" She said she eventually gave him oral sex to get out of the situation.
Cartwright's attorney said at the time that the incident was one of "a multitude of sexual assaults" committed against Cartwright by Riddle from 2017 through January 2020.

Riddle denied any wrongdoing while admitting he had an affair with Cartwright. At one point, he said they were going to sue her for cyberstalking.

God, I know it's supposed to be Matt Riddle when people do the Randy joke, but all I ever hear is Art fucking Donovan.

Someone with the made up name of Candy Cartwright definitely didn’t want sex from anyone.

Sounds like she made it up.

Edit: Sorry, the victim is always right. We should all start a gofundme so she can start a new case.

You're supposed to wait until someone actually calls you out on it otherwise you just look like an idiot

Yeah I really hate the "oh sorry women are always right" sarcastic narrative. Just because one person may be lying shouldn't dismiss the fact that shit actually does happen a lot and they are real victims out there, and way more than fake claims statistically. as chris said, just makes you look like a fucking idiot and an asshole

 

[Chris]

Pretty sure most of us called this one out for being shady when the news first dropped over a year ago too. WWE obviously wasn't worried bc they literally debuted him on the main roster the same week and had him beat AJ Styles and meanwhile they took other dudes off TV and fired at least one

 

[Canadian Dragon]

yes in this specific case it certainly did not look good from the alleged accuser from the get go, and I agree with you that with the way WWE handled it and his push, they clearly thought it didn't have much meat to it.

I just don't like the narrative that people may use this as a flag to waive whenever another accusation may come forth, if that makes sense?

I was agreeing, I think it's funny when they do it on a case like this especially bc...Riddle wasn't canceled at all lol he seems innocent, the case was dropped, he didn't lose his job, got a bigger push if anything than prior even. It was a non factor
