Earlier in September, Matt Riddle had backstage heat on him due to the comments during an interview regarding Roman Reigns back in August.
Riddle responded to Reigns’ comments regarding CM Punk “moving the needle” and stated that Reigns also didn’t move the needle and is only in his spot because he’s a second generation star.
International Business Times reported that during a media call, Riddle confirmed the backstage heat.
This was Riddle’s statement he gave:
“I’ll comment on that briefly. I’m not trying to rub anybody the wrong way or say anything [wrong], but I made some comments [and] I’ll say this: I think they were all factual, just so you know. Kind of like I said, [I am] kind of telling the truth here. But I think, maybe, even if they were factual, they weren’t the most professional things to say, especially with me being on the Raw brand and him being on SmackDown. I’m not even in that realm of competing with the Tribal Chief. He’s on another level at this moment. I think maybe I got a little too big for my britches, you know what I mean? Maybe I got a little backstage heat. Maybe a tiny bit. Unfortunately, I said some things that some people may not have liked and I’m not going to mention names, but they didn’t like it. I won’t say it again. I get it. Right now, all hail the Tribal Chief. Good for Roman [Reigns]. Acknowledge him. Everybody, acknowledge him, okay? That’s all I’m saying.“
