As previously noted by TalkSport.com, the Brock Lesnar and Matt Riddle confrontation backstage at the Royal Rumble was apparently legit and not a work. Lesnar reportedly told Riddle the following:
“Kid, you might as well stop saying my name and tagging me in sh*t because you and I will never work together. Ever.”
In an interview with WWE after the Royal Rumble PPV, Riddle commented on Lesnar:
“I really wanted to get my hands …. I really wanted to get my hands on Brock! I saw him throwing everybody around. I don’t care what he says, or anybody else says. I don’t care if he wants the match or not. I’m gonna get it. I don’t care. It’s not up to him.”
“I don’t like being told no. Especially when I work as hard as I do. Trust me, I guarantee you, I guarantee you I get my hands on him and I make that match happen. And I take his f… I take his career. I promise. I promise.”
