4. Matt Riddle still wants to face Goldberg

Matt Riddle is one of the most loved wrestler amongst the fans but things are not the same in the backstage for him. Due to his being vocal attitude, he pissed off several backstage people including WWE Hall of Famer Goldberg. Riddle called him the dangerous and worst wrestler in the business in the past. They had a confrontation backstage at SummerSlam, where Goldberg told Riddle that he is not his BRO. But, slowly things got better and both these wrestler showed respect for each other in interviews. Now, once again Riddle expressed his desire to face Goldberg in WWE.

While speaking to Cheap Heat with Peter Rosenberg, Matt Riddle talked about his past comments about Goldberg and being on better terms now. Riddle added that he really wants to have a match against Goldberg next year if possible.

”I won’t call you out, but I’ll say this, Bill, Bill Goldberg, I’ll be honest, I think I’ve grown on the guy. I think he’s grown on me a little. I think that match can possibly happen. We both went to Saudi. We were both on the same airplane. We bumped into each other quite a few times on that airplane. I think we can get that match. I think we pull that one out. No promises but I’m hoping by 2022, we get Riddle vs. Goldberg. It will sell tickets.
“Out of those match-ups, I see that one happening, being the most realistic. I don’t think he’s ready for me yet. I think I ruffled his feathers a little bit. He’s a peacock. You know he doesn’t like his feathers ruffled. Kind of like I rubbed Bill the wrong way. I don’t think Bill was ready for a relationship for me. Now over time, in a year, things have simmered down.”
h/t to Wrestling Inc for the quotes.

Now, we have to wait and see how Goldberg will respond to Riddle’s comments. Recently, Goldberg had a banger match with Bobby Lashley at WWE Crown Jewel and he made it clear that there’s one more match left in him. If this match will ever happen, it’ll be certainly a dream match for everyone.
