Summary
– Matt Riddle says WWE used ideas it initially rejected
– He claims pitches resurfaced roughly two weeks later

Matt Riddle says some of his WWE pitches reached television after initially being dismissed.
Discussing his experiences in a recent interview, Riddle claimed ideas described as poor suggestions would later appear in promos or comedy segments, sometimes about two weeks afterward. He did not identify specific examples during those remarks.
