Matt Riddle addresses reports of backstage heat

WWE star Matt Riddle has made many headlines in the last couple of years by calling out the part time stars of WWE like Brock Lesnar and Goldberg.

 


 

However, the same actions which have made him famous have also landed him in hot waters and there have been reports of Riddle having heat due to his comments.

The NXT star addressed these reports during his recent interview with SportsKeeda and claimed that he does not have heat with anyone who runs the shows:

I’ll tell you this. Do I have heat with WWE or NXT, or the people that run the show? No. Do I have heat with some people who think I’m disrespectful at times because they don’t understand how business works? Yes. Do people take things too seriously? Yes. And honestly, I’ve had to give talks at NXT, is not like I stopped the place, but it’s like, interjecting. I’m like, ‘Hey. I’m going to tweet or say something that offends you. Realize I’m not trying to actually offend you, I’m just trying to make people think I am. I’m putting out an image, a facade, you know?’

Riddle also revealed that he had a meeting with Vince McMahon recently. The former MMA star then went on to claim that he is worth his weight

I was in Vince McMahon’s office just three weeks ago, before this thing broke out,” Riddle continued. “I was in headquarters talking to him – and, yeah, we mentioned the heat I have with certain people but, at the end of the day, he signs the checks, he makes it happen for me and they’re in control, not the talent. If employer’s happy and I can make them money and make them a profit, and I’m worth my weight and I’m pulling my weight, I don’t see a problem. To answer your question, yes, some people I have heat with. But most of it’s just high school, catty, “He said this”, people who just can’t take a joke or a work.
