The bad blood between them runs so deep that Riddle even mocked his match with The Undertaker on social media.
He has become fond of this beef. So much so that revealed some damning details while speaking on the latest episode of WWE’s The Bump.
The King of Bros talked about his backstage altercation with Goldberg and revealed that Shane McMahon had a chat with him after the quarrel and thanked him for not punching the WWE legend.
“After that, Shane McMahon was watching from down the hallway, like, ‘Oh no!’ And then afterwards, Shane was like, ‘Hey, thanks for like, not swinging at Goldberg’ You know, like, what do you expect, do you imagine, like, Matt Riddle punches Goldberg unconscious in the back? I don’t know, I can’t do that, that is not a stallion move,” says Riddle as he recalls a confrontation with Goldberg.
