It appears that Brock Lesnar is just one of multiple WWE superstars who has issues with NXT standout Matt Riddle, as a new report suggests that the former UFC welterweight fighter was tossed out so quickly in this year’s men’s Royal Rumble match because of backstage heat.
According to WrestlingNews.co, Dave Meltzer said on Tuesday’s edition of Wrestling Observer Radio that Riddle appears to have rubbed a number of people in WWE the wrong way, hence the company’s decision to have him eliminated by “King” Baron Corbin in just 41 seconds during the men’s Rumble match on Sunday. The publication noted that this was mentioned as Meltzer and co-host Bryan Alvarez were discussing the wrestlers who were in the running to face Lesnar at WrestleMania 36 in April — a list of superstars that supposedly did not include Riddle, in specific.
