Riddle upset some important people in the WWE locker room.
Matt Riddle recently spoke with TMZ Sport discussed past tensions with several high-profile names in wrestling and how honesty can create friction backstage. He was not shy about name-dropping Goldberg, CM Punk and Roman Reigns.
Apparently, Riddle upset the OTC when he spouted off about how he could beat him in a legit street fight. That being said, he admitted that Roman Reigns would beat him in the ring. Nevertheless, Reigns was pretty heated about this.
Riddle also had something to say about Roman Reigns former Shield brother, Seth Rollins. He accused the Visionary of limiting his promos during their WWE feud.
Matt Riddle pointed to his remarks about CM Punk, Goldberg, and Roman Reigns as examples of comments that sparked heated reaction. He stood by his remarks as well, because Riddle lives by the adage that he is real, so if they cant take the heat then stay out of the kitchen. This, obviously, rubbed more than a few of his peers the wrong way.
Riddles feud with Goldberg was legendary, but they never met in the ring. Instead, Riddle kept throwing shade at him during interviews. Goldberg later called Riddle a booger in his nose. Riddle did the same trolling act with Brock Lesnar, and although this never resulted in a real match, the two did have some heated words backstage at the 2020 Royal Rumble.
