Former WWE star Matt Riddle discussed the possibility of facing Bill Goldberg in his final wrestling match in an interview with Brandon Walker of Barstool Rasslin’.
Riddle said, “Well, maybe. I don’t think he wants to step up to the plate, if we’re keeping it real. Me and Bill, we’ve talked. We were on a flight from Saudi, we were on a Saudi show, one of the Crown Jewels, and we were flying back, and we had some cocktails, and we had some discussion. I don’t think there’s any bad blood.
I think he has more of an understanding of where I was coming from. I definitely have an understanding of where he’s coming from and why he finds what I say disrespectful and things like that. I completely understand. I don’t mean it that way. We’re professional wrestlers. I’m just spitting facts, and I can back it up. This is just what it is. I think a lot of people, other people in WWE, took that as disrespect. But it’s like, if you fought in the UFC, and then you’re now in the WWE, what, am I supposed to just forget my whole career? Nah, dude. I can stretch like 98% of…because Brock [Lesnar] is pretty big, and Bobby Lashley’s pretty big. Neither are shabby at mixed martial arts either. But I would say pretty handy, I sure do [know how to take care of myself.]”
