Riddle reflects on getting “Brocked” in Saudi Arabia and says he would like to test his skills against a WWE Hall of Famer at WrestleMania.
Riddle has quickly become one of the fastest rising stars on Monday Night Raw. With that new spot on the card comes the availability of new opponents. As Matt Riddle continues to move through the ranks, he now believes he is closer to one of his dream matches with Brock Lesnar.
Speaking with Catch Club, Riddle revealed that if he was in a similar position to Kevin Owens at this year's WrestleMania, he would have chosen someone like Edge or Brock Lesnar to have a match against.
“I mean, right now, you’ve got Edge. He’s really good and he’s with Damian Priest, so that would be entertaining,” said Riddle. "The obvious answer is Brock Lesnar. I’ve been wanting that guy for a minute and then he kind of didn’t want me, but now we’re kind of [on equal spots on the card]. I might be able to get in there now. I don’t know if I’ll like the outcome of the match but, of course!”
Riddle reflected on being in the same match with Brock Lesnar briefly as they were both a part of this year's Elimination Chamber match where Brock Lesnar won his WWE Championship after decimating everybody in the match.
“I had a little taste at Elimination Chamber,” he continued. “Things did not go according to plan, I think everybody would agree with that. Brock broke out of his pod and did what Brock does. Nobody was ready for him and he came in and ‘Brocked’ us. But yeah, I would like that when the time’s right and the build’s right.”
Riddell also spoke about wanting to face Randy Orton just to test his skills but of course, he wouldn't want to break up the friendship he has with him, so he will stick to either Edge or Brock Lesnar.
“[Or I could fight] Randy, but right now we’re teaming,” he said. “I don’t want to put that in the atmosphere, so I’ll say Edge or Brock.”
Randy Orton and Matt Riddle will team with Drew McIntyre at WrestleMania Backlash against The Bloodline. You can see the full card here.
