Matt Riddle, who departed from WWE in September last year, recently shed light on his intense storyline with Seth Rollins. The King of Bros and The Visionary engaged in a deeply personal feud in 2022, culminating in a Fight Pit match at Extreme Rules.
One of the most significant aspects of their rivalry was its authenticity, as Seth Rollins openly addressed Matt Riddle’s tumultuous personal life.
In a memorable sit-down interview, Seth Rollins confronted Matt Riddle, accusing him of being a negligent father who had abandoned his family.
Surprisingly, it was Matt Riddle himself who proposed including this personal detail in the promo, catching both Seth Rollins and Triple H off guard initially. However, Riddle believed that this controversial line would intensify their feud, generating more heat:
“I suggested, ‘Why don’t you call me a deadbeat dad loser who abandoned his family?’ He was like, ‘Bro, are you sure?’ Triple H was like, ‘Are you sure?’ I’m like, yeah! I know that if you didn’t suggest that and you said that, I’d kill you.
So, plus, it’s further from the truth, but the perception, you say that, it infuriates me, I’m going to hurt you.”
