Matt Riddles long-running feud with Bill Goldberg just got another chapter and this time, Riddle is revealing details from a backstage exchange that fans have never seen.
Speaking to TMZ Sports in a video published on August 14, 2025, Riddle opened up about his tense interactions with the WWE Hall of Famer, including a second conversation that was filmed but never released to the public.
According to Riddle, Goldberg approached him again after their infamous first encounter at SummerSlam 2019 where Goldberg told him Im not your bro and accused him of being disrespectful and not understanding the wrestling business.
From there, Riddle says Goldberg fired back by bragging about his bank account, something Riddle claims came up more than once in their history of clashes.
Riddle made it clear that he respects Goldbergs status as an icon but doesnt rate his in-ring skill.
Riddle finished his point by directly calling Goldberg unsafe to work with.
This is far from the first time Riddle has taken aim at Goldberg. Earlier this year, he doubled down on his claim that hed whoop that ass 10 times out of 10, and their feud stretches back to that first awkward SummerSlam run-in in 2019. While fans continue to dream about a match between the two, Riddle doesnt seem convinced Goldberg would ever step in the ring with him.
With Riddles latest comments, the tension between these two shows no sign of cooling and the possibility of a showdown remains one of wrestlings biggest what ifs.
