Matt Riddle had his fair share of backstage heat during his time with WWE, ruffling the feathers of multiple top talents for being outspoken.
MLW World Champion Matt Riddle was a recent guest on TMZ’s Inside The Ring. During the show, the former WWE Superstar revealed that Roman Reigns and Goldberg used to get really angry with him backstage when he came at them with facts.
“The thing is, I’ve noticed this, even with Bill Goldberg and certain people I’ve rubbed the wrong way,” Matt Riddle said. “Even Roman Reigns at one point I rubbed the wrong way, they get really angry when you spit facts. So if I say you’re hard to work with and you can’t fight, CM Punk gets really mad.
“When I say Goldberg, you’re a terrible wrestler and you injure people, he gets mad. They asked me to talk crap about Roman. I told everybody, ‘Hey, you might beat me in the ring, but if we were in a cage or in the street, I’d beat the hell out of him.’ He knows that and I know that and everybody else knows that. From what I’ve noticed, and it’s crazy because we’re in this world of sports entertainment, a lot of people get really angry and really uncomfortable with the truth. Especially fans as well.” [H/T: Fightful]
