How was Seth Rollins and Matt Riddle's relationship before WWE Clash at the Castle?
Seth Rollins and Matt Riddle walked into WWE Clash at the Castle with no animosity between them off the screen. However, things weren't as rosy between them in the past. Rollins couldn't stand Riddle after some hateful comments his ex-wife passed on Becky Lynch.
The Original Bro revealed that The Revolutionary didn't want to work with him following said comments. It took an apology from the former to loosen up, and things have been cool between them since, as detailed by Mr. 420.
"We talked. I told him – and this is exactly what I said – I said ‘Hey man, what was said, I don’t agree with it. I thought it was bullcr*p. It’s not cool. I just want you to know I apologise. I apologise on her (ex-wife's) behalf as well. On top of that I think you’re a great performer and if you would ever have it in your heart to work with me, I would love that....And he literally looked at me and he goes ‘Holy s***. I didn’t expect that. Everything I hear from people and what I expected… that was really cool. Thank you.’ And that’s where we ended it."
We are glad the two men put their beef behind them. Count us in the list of fans who think they will steal the show at WWE Clash at the Castle.
