Released WWE Star Addresses Possibility Of Joining AEW For Major Match

WWE/AEW

Former WWE star Matt Riddle is open to the idea of a run in AEW and wants to face Bill Goldberg if the opportunity arises.

Riddle’s tweets about Goldberg have been enough to catch the former WWE Universal Champion’s attention in the past.

Speaking about the two possibly crossing paths in the future during a Signed by Superstars virtual signing, Riddle said:

“You know, I don’t wanna give too much but I personally would love to work William (Goldberg). I think me and Goldberg would be a great match.

“I think I could get something out of him that people haven’t seen in years and I think it’d be great for business.

“I know it’d be really great for me, but at the end of the day, you can’t — you know, if he wants to do it, he’ll do it. If he needs to do it, he’ll do it and I mean there’s a couple places we could do that.”

It’s those places that Riddle would go on to discuss, adding:

“I would imagine maybe an AEW, maybe a TNA, maybe a New Japan but if it was gonna happen, it’d probably be AEW.

“Yeah (I’d consider going to AEW). Honestly, I feel like a lot of the talent when I got released were gonna try to do that and I kind of wanted to think outside the box and I also wanted to maybe not rush back into doing TV matches again because TV’s a lot different than wrestling on pay-per-view or wrestling on the indies…

“TNA isn’t out of the picture either, you know? It’s just I know there’s certain things I wanna do and I really wanted to work in Japan and I made that a priority.”

Matt Riddle will make his in-ring New Japan debut at Battle in the Valley event in San Jose, California on January 13, 2024.

He is also reportedly scheduled to be on the NJPW tour of Japan in February 2024 leading up to The New Beginning in Sapporo on February 23 and 24.

Riddle has also recently revealed that he is moving away from the ‘goofball’ character that he portrayed in WWE.
