Riddle explains the incident involving Becky Lynch
It was back in last year during the WWE Draft that Seth Rollins had said that he had no interest in squaring off against Riddle.
Riddle recently spoke to Alex McCarthy of TalkSPORT, and addressed the heat he had with Rollins, as Riddle’s wife made some harsh remarks on The Man in an Instagram post. Matt’s wife had called her ‘skinny jiggly fat.’
Riddle had reached out to Rollins backstage at WWE Survivor Series last year and apologized to him for his wife’s comments about Becky Lynch. Riddle claimed that Rollins didn’t see the apology coming from Riddle and Rollins had thanked Riddle for the same.
Riddle said:
“After Survivor Series… I tried to talk to Seth beforehand but he kind of avoided me and he did bow out early [in the match]. I don’t know if he did that because he didn’t want to work with me or whatever because there was three other guys in the match. He could have done something. He was in there with Sheamus, he could have done a spot. After Survivor Series, because he was there I got to talk to him and I said ‘Hey’ and a camera came up to us to film it and I said ‘No, don’t come over here, don’t film this. It’s between me and him.’ We talked. I told him – and this is exactly what I said – I said ‘Hey man, what was said, I don’t agree with it. I thought it was bullcrap. It’s not cool. I just want you to know I apologise, I apologise on her behalf as well. On top of that I think you’re a great performer and if you would ever have it in your heart to work with me, I would love that.
And, I know you’re taking some time off because Becky is pregnant, about to have a kid, just want to wish you luck, congratulations, enjoy your time with your beautiful girlfriend – at the time, now wife – and your beautiful child.’ And he literally looked at me and he goes ‘Holy s***. I didn’t expect that. Everything I hear from people and what I expected… that was really cool. Thank you.’ And that’s where we ended it. I said ‘Thank you for listening and giving me the time, bro. I hope we’re good now.’ And I will say this, we’re good enough to be working together, I don’t think we’re friends. I’ll tell you this, that last curb stomp he gave me at the Royal Rumble, we’re not friends [laughs]. When I get in the ring with him, he’s going to get it! Put that online! Can we get back in the ring? I need to repay that curb stomp, bro!”
We will see if Rollins and Riddle would agree on a potential match in future.
