Vince McMahon is WWE’s Chairman and oversees everything that goes on in the company, right to the very last detail. Ronda Rousey match also outraged Vince McMahon.
Matt Riddle recently spoke on Out of Character, where he talked about his relationship with Vince McMahon, adding that Vince McMahon respects his confidence
I am extremely confident, but I’ve also put the work in to be as confident as I am in what I say,” Riddle said. “I do think Vince respects it. I think he likes me a lot, but I do think that I’ve overstepped my boundaries a couple times and he has definitely told me that I have. At the same time, I kind of look at it like this: I really don’t mean to rub people the wrong way, but at the same time, we’re in the world of professional wrestling and I talk trash. That’s what I do, that’s part of my job. And I feel that if I talk really good trash, people may get upset, but I just feel like I’m really good at my job.
Me and Goldberg don’t see eye to eye on some things, me and other superstars, not going to mention any names, really don’t see eye to eye on some things. But to me, that’s the beauty of sports entertainment. These differences, these qualms that we have is what’s great about what we do. And the fact that we might actually have to work together one day and people know this, it makes what we do even bigger, more real and better if you ask me. And I think the fans agree as well.”
