You never know what Matt Riddle will speak about when heâ€s given an open forum. This is especially true if he has someone to address.
Matt Riddle was speaking to TMZ Sports†Inside The Ring when the topic of Booker T came up. Booker had recently said that Riddle burned bridges with WWE through his comments. He also claimed that Riddle showed little respect for the business and made it harder for himself to return.
Riddle responded with a mix of humor and honesty in signature cadence, which is how he addresses many things. “I wouldnâ€t say heâ€s 100% wrong, you know,â€Riddle said. He then brought up CM Punk as an example of someone who came back after bigger issues.
“Not to bring up old people, but CM Punk… he filed a lawsuit against WWE for years, right? And heâ€s there. So… and best wrestler in the world.â€
“Booker T… he speaks out a lot. Talks all about everything on his podcast. Every time Iâ€ve seen Booker T face to face, heâ€s a gentleman. Heâ€s a scholar. Heâ€s giving me [] for not wearing shoes. Heâ€s telling me, ‘Youâ€re not professional. You donâ€t wear shoes.†Iâ€m like, ‘What the [] does that mean, dude? Iâ€ll kick you in the face for not wearing a shoe, you know.â€â€
Matt Riddle finished with a direct message to Booker T. He addressed the two-time WWE Hall of Famer by saying that he has no beef with him.
“Youâ€re sweet as candy, brother. But whenever thereâ€s some interview or Twitter, thatâ€s why I have no beef. And I feel like youâ€re the same way. Youâ€re going to talk your feelings. Youâ€re going to say what youâ€re going to say.â€
Matt Riddle also addressed his beef with Brock Lesnar during this interview. He accused the Beast Incarnate of going into business for himself. So, there are a few people in the pro wrestling world who may not see things on Riddleâ€s level.
Although some may want to avoid speaking out about their firing, Matt Riddle also spoke openly about his WWE release. He also brought attention to the fact that it went down just before he was slated to get a hefty payday.
At the time of his WWE release, Matt Riddle had reportedly burned too many chances with the company. Ringside News also exclusively reported at the time that Matt Riddleâ€s WWE release came after a dozen or more backstage infractions.
