Matt Riddle ‘Ruffled Some Feathers’ Backstage With Recent Comments

WWE Raw Tag Team Champion Matt Riddle has a tendency to be pretty outspoken, which can sometimes lead to a little bit of animosity.

We’ve heard about it with Brock Lesnar, we’ve heard about it with Goldberg, and apparently some more recent comments have gotten him into a bit of hot water once again.

Speaking on Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer said:

“In real life his mouth gets him in trouble a lot, including this last week. It’s not like it’s gonna hurt his push because Vince likes him and everything, but he ruffled some feathers again with his comments on Roman Reigns.”

If you missed it, here’s what Riddle said about Reigns in an interview with Bleacher Report:

“No disrespect to Roman, he seems like a swell fella, but at the same time, it’s like when people say they’re a good parent. You know what? If you were a good parent, your kids would be telling you you’re a good parent. When he’s saying ‘Acknowledge me’ or ‘I move the needle’, no, you don’t. You’re related to The Rock. Shut up. Like, I’m not impressed, I can beat you up in a real fight. So, shut your mouth.

“You’re not moving needles. I’m the real stallion, RK-Bro is moving the merch, we’re moving the needle, and that’s it. I don’t want to say too much, I’m not trying to get in trouble. Hey, hats off to him. He’s amazing at what he does. I do like what he does, but at the same time, it’s like, get off your high horse. You’re in that spot for a reason. You’re not a bro. You’re second generation. I’m first generation.”

Even though he said, “I’m not trying to get in trouble”, you can kinda see why that’s exactly what would happen. But wrestling needs people like Riddle and Reigns who aren’t afraid to speak their minds, and it was all off the back of Reigns criticising CM Punk anyway, so it’s not like he’s never said anything about anyone.

On last night’s WWE Raw, Matt Riddle and Randy Orton retained the Raw Tag Team Championship over MVP and WWE Champion Bobby Lashley.
