WWE made a specific effort to keep a certain star away from Roman Reigns due to some real-life issues between the two.
Since his departure a few months ago, former WWE show host Matt Camp has shared some stories about his time working for the company.
One of the latest stories he told was regarding an August 2021 edition of WWE’s The Bump.
The show featured a video interview with Roman Reigns, which was followed by an in-studio interview with Matt Riddle.
Usually, one of the features of The Bump would be to have interactions between the video guest and the in-studio guest, but an exception was made for Reigns and Riddle.
According to Camp, a specific effort was made to keep Riddle away from the set until Reigns’ video interview had fully concluded.
On his show The Wrestling Matt, Camp said:
“Riddle was the in-studio guest, and we 100% did not put Riddle on the set until Roman was gone, off the video screen. Just not gonna mess with that.
“And then Riddle went and said something dumb about Roman right after that in another interview, like right after that. And I think that’s when he told the story about writing a letter to Roman apologizing and Randy Orton told him to do it.
“But we made a point to keep Riddle (away from Roman)… because we would have those interactions, where someone would be in-studio and interact with the (video) guests whether they were in a storyline or not – we had some fun stuff with that.
We 100% kept Riddle off the set until the Roman interview was done, which was the right call.”

Among the comments Riddle made about Reigns in interviews was that he’d be able to beat Reigns in a “real fight”.
The two did work together for a period of time in the middle of 2022, including Reigns retaining the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship against Riddle on the June 17 episode of SmackDown that year.
