Matt Riddle places high praise on Swerve Strickland.
Matt and Strickland have come up against each other in the past, long before either man was a member of the WWE roster. The pair met in a rivalry that spanned Defy and MLW, and faced off multiple times.
While speaking to Shak Wrestling in a recent interview, Riddle noted his belief that Strickland is one of the best wrestlers he's shared a ring with in his life, while also praising other names he's shared a ring with.
"Swerve is one of the best guys I’ve wrestled, probably in my life. Don’t get me wrong, there are other guys on that list. Roman [Reigns] is really good. Randy [Orton] is extremely good. Seth Rollins, Sheamus. There are different generations. Swerve is very talented and is of that new generation of top tier wrestlers that are not only strong enough, big enough, but can actually go and go at a certain clip. Swerve is cool, he’s good, I can’t say enough good things about him."
Strickland is currently out of action in AEW following a brutal attack at the hands of Ricochet.
Elsewhere in the same interview, Riddle noted he still hadn't been paid for TNA Turning Point. You can read more about that here.
