Matt Riddle cšomments on Golą¹dberg's upcoming retirement match.
On November 2nd, Goldberg announced that he would have his ļ·½retirement match in 2025. This came after he appeared at Wź¦WE Bad Blood and hopped the barricade when Gunther toāok some shots at him.
Speaking with Branš«don Walker on , Matt Riddle was asked whetheź§r he'd want to be part of Goldberg's retirement match.
āWell, maybe. I donāt think he wants to step up to the plate, if weāre keeping it real. Me and Bill, weāve talked. We were on a flight from Saudi, we were on a Saudi show, one of the Crown Jewels, and we were flying back, and we had some cocktails, and we had some discussion. I donāt think thereās any bad blood. I think he has more of an understanding of where I was coming from. I definitely have an understanding of where heās coming from and why he finds what I say disrespectful and things like that. I completely understand. I donāt mean it that way. Weāre professional wrestlers. Iām just spitting facts, and j can back it up. This is just what it is. I think a lot of people, other people in WWE, took that as disrespect. But itās like, if you fought in the UFC, and then youāre now in the WWE, what, am I supposed to just forget my whole career? Nah, dude. I can stretch like 98% ofā¦because Brock [Lesnar] is pretty big, and Bobby Lashleyās pretty big. Neither are shabby at mixed martial arts either. But I would say pretty handy, I sure do [know how to take care of myself,]" Riddle said.
