It’s good to be aware when one is trash talking. It seems like Matt Riddle has finally learnt it after trash talking about none other than Universal Champion Roman Reigns.
During an appearance on Peter Rosenberg’s Cheap Heat, the one half of WWE Raw Tag Team Champions explained that he’s trying to control how much he trash talks.

“I’m trying not to talk too much trash anymore. I don’t want to upset the higher ups. I’m not going to mention exact names, but he’s a chief of tribes. I said something about him recently. I’m not saying specific names. It could be anybody. He wasn’t happy. I talked some trash about me moving the needle and selling merch. He didn’t like what I said. I thought it was hilarious, but not everybody thinks like me.” h/t Cheap Heat
Considering the position he is in, it’s likely The Tribal Chief doesn’t take it lightly when someone trash talks about it. In fact, he’s well-known for demanding acknowledgment and maintaining decorum.

“You’re not moving needles. I’m the real stallion, RK-Bro is moving the merch, we’re moving the needle, and that’s it. I don’t want to say too much, I’m not trying to get in trouble. Hey, hats off to him. He’s amazing at what he does. I do like what he does, but at the same time, it’s like, get off your high horse. You’re in that spot for a reason, you’re not a bro. You’re second generation. I’m first generation.”
