“Brock Lesnar Misunderstood What I Was Saying”- Matt Riddle Clears The Air On His Rivalry With Former Champion

WWE Superstar Matt Riddle has cleared up some doubts regarding his relationship with Brock Lesnar. Riddle has the biggest ambition of them all, and the biggest attitude as well. Arriving from UFC, Riddle has been blasting his way through NXT.

Riddle has the in-your-face personality and says stuff exactly the way it enters his mind. He is an absolute showman in this regard. His extremely popular character at NXT saw him receive a promotion.

Riddle is now on the main roaster at SmackDown. Riddle has always wanted to play in the big leagues. He says that his time at NXT was great and he will always support what it stands for. 

However, he wants to become a headliner and feature in all the top competitions. He expressed his desire to appear at the Royal Rumble and WrestleMania. 

Wrestlers can’t move in that direction when they are in NXT. This is why Riddle decided to leave NXT and get the promotion rather than stick around for a while longer. 

In the short time that he has been in SmackDown, Riddle has already managed to make enemies. On the main roaster, his direct targeting and open talks are not appreciated by superstars.

Brock Lesnar in particular is one superstar that decided that enough was enough. Reports say that Lesnar and Riddle had a bit of a feud backstage following some of Riddle’s statements concerning him.

If you somehow haven’t heard yet, Riddle has time and again expressed his main goal in wrestling which is to retire “The Beast Incarnate” Brock Lesnar.

Riddle claims that he has been working his entire career to this goal and is determined to achieve it. Lesnar didn’t take this comment lightly.

Matt Riddle says retiring Lesnar would make him a legend

Obviously insulted by Riddle’s audacity, he confronted him backstage and assured Riddle that he would never face him. 

Riddle later revealed that even Vince McMahon thought he was being too disrespectful. He decided to put some misunderstandings to rest after this entire situation.

In a recent interview, Riddle expressed how it was never his intention to insult Brock Lesnar. He says that Lesnar should be proud of the fact that a wrestler is dedicating his entire career to beating him.

“There’s nothing personal. It’s just business,” says Riddle. 

Matt Riddle has made his intentions of wanting to be “The Guy” at WWE clear. He wants to be the next face of the company and may just achieve it.

He reminds us of an Attitude Era Chris Jericho, stirring up rivalries with his mouth but having all the talent capable of delivering as promised. Riddle has the tools to make it big at WWE.

Is he taking it too far? Maybe that’s just who he is, and the roaster will just have to get used to the new kid on the block. Matt Riddle is here to stay, and maybe retire Lesnar if things go his way.
