Matt Riddle Says He & Roman Reigns Are ‘Good’ After Backstage Heat

Some of you may recall that there was some heat between Roman Reigns and Matt Riddle over some comments Riddle made about the ‘OTC’ back in 2021.

At the time, Riddle expressed his belief that Reigns didn’t move the needle and only got to where he is due to his relationship with The Rock.

During a recent interview with the New York Post, Riddle said he and Reigns are “good” these days.

You can check out some highlights from the interview below:

On being taken more seriously in MLW: “If somebody says, ‘watch your back,’ I’m not gonna spin around in circles trying to look at my back. Those are the kinds of things I would do in WWE. And fortunately, the people I work with now think I have more brains than that and I’m allowed to know what things mean when people say them… I want to be taken more seriously. I want to show people that combat sports background.”

On his release from WWE: “While I think WWE was doing the best they could, or thought they were doing the best they could, but at the same time, WWE protects WWE, as they should. But at the same time, we’re all human. We’re all people and sometimes I think that gets lost in translation in a publicly traded company.”

On his issues with Roman Reigns: “I think when he saw how professional I am in the ring and I also explained why things were said and I wasn’t just trying to call you out. I know my place in WWE but when someone tells me to cut a promo on you, I’m gonna cut a promo on you. I think he understood that. Still wasn’t happy about it, but understood. Me and Roman, we’re good.”
