Matt Riddle opens up about Brock Lesnar

The relationship between Brock and Riddle is well-known among fans. The duo never saw eye to eye.

Speaking on Niko Exxtra, the Original Bro revealed many plans were nixed due to Brock Lesnar's involvement in the 2022 Elimination Chamber.

"Elimination Chamber [2022] we were supposed to do a whole bunch, but he just punched the chamber door open and now what are you even going to do because he's supposed to win. And, you have spots to run here but he's in here [...] He's not the coolest dude. Back in the day, I really wanted to work with him, and after a couple of interactions with him, I have nothing ill to say about him," said Riddle.

It remains to be seen if Matt Riddle ends up signing with AEW.
