Matt Camp goes behind the scenes of WWE's The Bump.
Roman Reigns doesn't do a lot of media, but he did make two appearances on WWE's The Bump, once in 2020 and another in 2021. The first came ahead of WrestleMania 36 and working with Make-A-Wish. The second came in August 2021, and former The Bump host Matt Camp revealed that they kept an on-screen rival of Roman's off set until Roman finished his appearance.
"[Roman] came on a year and a half later in August of 2021 because he had a partnership with Shady Rays, a sunglasses company, and he did the interview from a house that had an outdoor shower somewhere. He was in full Roman mode. It had been a year. The funny part, a little side part of that show, is that Riddle was the in-studio guest and we 100% did not put Riddle on the set until Roman was gone and off the video screen. Just not going to mess with that. Then Riddle went and said something dumb about Roman right after that in another interview. Right after that. I think that's where he told the story about writing a letter to Roman, apologizing, and Randy told him to do it. We made a point to keep Riddle...we would have those interactions where someone would be in studio and then they'd interact with the guest, whether they were in storyline or not, we'd have some fun stuff with that. We 100% kept Riddle off the set until the Roman interview was done, which was the right call," Camp said on The Wrestling Matt.
Riddle previously revealed that he may have gotten backstage heat with Roman for saying that Roman didn't move the needle and that he could beat up Roman in a fight.
Riddle and Roman did work together in June 2022.
