WATCH: Matt Riddle Wants Brock Lesnar, Says Even If Brock Doesn’t Want Him He Will Get It

Riddle still wants Lesnar even after the Rumble.

Over the weekend there were reports of a backstage verbal altercation between Matt Riddle and Brock Lesnar prior to the Royal Rumble. It was reported that Lesnar told Riddle that the two would never work a match together and for Riddle to stop mentioning him on social media.

It was also reported that on Tuesday during a media class at the WWE Performance Center, the wrestlers in attendance were told to no longer call out main roster superstars Twitter without their knowledge. This was laughed at during the class and some think it has to do with the Lesnar/Riddle situation.

Wednesday morning the WWEPC YouTube Channel posted an interesting video with Matt Riddle talking about being in the Royal Rumble but the main focus was him wanting a match with Brock Lesnar. After showing footage of Riddle at Minute Maid Park and in the Rumble he goes on to say,

“I really wanted to get my hands, I really wanted to get my hands on Brock, you know. I saw him throwing everybody around. I don’t care what he says or what 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.”

After showing a few more clips and showing Riddle being eliminated in the Royal Rumble he then said,

“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, I take his career. I promise. I promise!”

So even though there were multiple reports over the past few days stating that Brock Lesnar has no intention of working with Matt Riddle, WWE is pushing the fact that Riddle still wants this match to happen. Everything that was said and filmed with Riddle regarding Brock was after Riddle was in the Royal Rumble so that would have been after the reported altercation.

Whether we ever see a Brock Lesnar vs Matt Riddle match is to be seen but it is interesting that we hear Brock does not want it, yet they are still pushing the idea that it could happen one day.
