However, rumors of backstage heat have followed Riddle for almost the entirety of his WWE career, and they’d explode following Matt Riddle’s short stint at the Royal Rumble. Despite being one of the few NXT stars to compete in the match, many outlets would speculate that the former UFC star was only in the match for a cup of coffee because he had “heat” with authority figures in WWE.
Well, while following up on our chat from right before NXT went live on the USA Network last September, I had the chance to ask the King of Bros about those rumors, and he confirmed a recent meeting with Mr. McMahon himself!
You can watch the entire interview below, or read the entire interview here.
Matt Riddle would go on to say he’s told certain people not to be offended if he tweets or says certain things because he’s just putting out an image or a facade.
The Original Bro would go one step further, and say he’s even spoken with Vince McMahon himself about the “heat” he has - before revealing why it doesn’t really matter if people don’t like him.
Matt Riddle concluded that he does have some heat, but that the reason he does is because some people can’t take a joke or do their part in working the WWE Universe - and stated that there’s no problem with him having heat because he’s making the company money.
