WWE Allegedly Kept Roman Reigns and Matt Riddle Separate Due to Real-Life Heat

Matt Riddle became a controversial name in WWE because of his problematic actions outside the squared circle, leading to his release. Riddle ruffled many feathers in WWE and it appears WWE allegedly kept Reigns and Riddle separate due to their real-life heat.

Before Randy Orton took a break due to injury, he and Matt Riddle formed the tag team Team RKBro. Their partnership was marked by winning tag team championships and becoming notable highlights on WWE television.

While speaking on The Wrestling Matt, former WWE personality Matt Camp revealed how Roman Reigns made an appearance on The Bump back in August 2021 due to his partnership with Shady Rays, a sunglasses company. At that time, they made sure Riddle, who was also a guest on the show, was not on set until after Roman’s interview had concluded to avoid any potential issues. Camp noted that they deliberately kept Riddle off the set until Roman’s segment was finished, which Camp believed was the right decision.

”Then he came on again a year later, in August of 2021, because he had a partnership with Shady Rays, a sunglasses company. He did the interview from a house with an outdoor shower somewhere, and he was in full Roman mode. It had been a year. The funny part is that Riddle was the in-studio guest for that show, and we 100% did not put Riddle on the set until Roman was off the video screen. We didn’t want to mess with that.

Then Riddle went and said something dumb about Roman in another interview right after that. I think that’s where he told the story about writing a letter to Roman apologizing, with Randy telling him to do it and all that. We made a point to keep Riddle off the set until the Roman interview was done, which was definitely the right call.”

Matt Riddle recently admitted that he had angered Roman Reigns after cutting a promo on The Bloodline where he stated that he would beat them up inside an MMA cage, but they would eventually mend fences. Regardless, Riddle will always remain a controversial name in WWE and that’s never changing.
