Matt Riddle was recently a guest on After The Bell with Corey Graves, where he spoke about his backstage issues with Seth Rollins and having to set them aside to do business.
āDidnāt get along too well, he wasnāt a fan of me, and Iāll say this, I wasnāt not not a fan of his, but somebody close to me at the time made some comments, this, that, and the other thing, and Seth wouldnāt talk to me. Seth wouldnāt look at me, he wouldnāt talk to me, he wasnāt gonna have anything to do with me. And eventually, itās kind of like Brock [Lesnar] and everybody else, you donāt have a choice. Iām here, Iām gonna keep working hard. Eventually, youāre gonna have to get in the ring with me and weāre gonna have to do business. And eventually, Seth came to that conclusion.
Riddle continued.
āBut I think he also realizes what I bring to the table, what Iām willing to do to get reactions from the crowd, just like when we go personal, we talk about things we probably shouldnāt be talking about. But Iām like, bro, I donāt care. I mean, I do pay child support. Things are rough for me. And for me, I also look at it as more of a therapeutic thing. Anybody that knows me knows what Iām going through like, āI canāt believe he would have said that to me if I was going through that.ā Because everybody thatās been in that spot, in that moment, can relate. And I think thatās the big thing. I think itās something Seth does and people donāt realize, I want people to relate. Everybody can relate about being like the smaller brother friend that just wants to be cool and has the other brother like him, thatās me and Randy [Orton]. With Seth, itās just two guys that donāt like each other and talk some crap that he shouldnāt be talking. Weāre at that point where I want to hurt him physically, mentally, emotionally, and he does, too. So I think just trying to build that story and build certain things that for me, the more real it is, the easier it is, the better it is. And thatās what makes me working with Seth so good because heās the same way. He likes to go all in.ā
