Some people are tired of Matt Riddle’s B.S.
Last week, fans saw the glorious return of former WWE Diva’s Champion AJ Lee. But the only person who seemed to go out of their way to try and tarnish her name was Matt Riddle. The former WWE United States Champion claimed that he’s heard that Lee used to "get around" during her WWE run.
“I mean, to be fair—and I’m not one to talk, I’m a little f**ed up myself—but she did go get around from what I heard. But no disrespect to that. Hey, it’s whatever. People like to hook up. And if that’s the worst thing he did, whatever, dude. I’ve done it too.”
That was after he called CM Punk a "creep" for hanging around NXT. There’s no word on what caused Riddle to randomly trash both Punk and Lee, though the married couple has yet to acknowledge anything that Riddle has said.
Peter Rosenberg had some words for Riddle however.
On his Cheap Heat podcast, Peter didn’t hold back on lashing out on the former WWE superstar over his insensitive comments.
“And then Matt Riddle, another, MMA person who showed up to WWE got immense opportunity, acted like a jackass. And by the way, I never had a problem with Riddle…We had Riddle on the show, had a good conversation with him back in the day, but still carried himself like a jackass, made a bunch of mistakes, made a bunch of enemies.
Now he’s still carrying himself like a jackass, saying things that are completely inappropriate.”
He specifically points out the comments he made about Lee and told Riddle to just shut up.
“You know, saying disrespectful things about AJ Lee. Just shut up, bro. Come on, man, like shut up.”
Do you think Matt Riddle will just shut up? Highly unlikely, but it is nice to see something clap back at the loud mouth who’s been trashing his former employers left and right. Riddle targeting Punk and Lee just makes him seem bitter as he was never in WWE during the same time as either of them.
Perhaps in Riddle’s mind, controversy creates a buzz around his name. Given how much he trashes plenty of WWE names then that surely wouldn’t be a surprise. But since Riddle is coming off a very scummy move of no showing a charity event, he needs to get his own house in order first before trashing anyone else.
