RAW tag team champion Riddle admitted to IB Times that he got backstage heat for his comments targeting Roman Reigns. Riddle had said that he wasn't impressed with Reigns and would beat him in a real fight. He also insinuated that the only reason behind Reigns' push was his connection to The Rock.
Now, Riddle agreed that his comments were not professional and even though he stands by them, he said saying such things in public was not a wise move.
"I’m not even in that realm of competing with the Tribal Chief. He’s on another level at this moment. I think maybe I got a little too big for my britches, you know what I mean? Maybe I got a little backstage heat. Maybe a tiny bit." said Riddle

Riddle said that he was not trying to rub anyone the wrong way with his remarks. He said that one of the reasons why he should not have made those comments was because he is on the RAW brand while Reigns is on SmackDown.
