During a recent interview with talkSPORT, Riddle discussed having backstage heat with Seth Rollins last year.
āIāll be honest, Iāve met Seth multiple times and heās met me and I donāt think weāll ever be best friends [laughs]. I donāt think we like one another, weāre just two different people. [Although] we both love wrestling. I know my significant other said something about Becky that they didnāt like and I also did not like or agree with. Seth didnāt like me after that and I donāt think Becky liked me or my wife either, which is understandable. It is what it is.ā
āAfter Survivor Series⦠I tried to talk to Seth beforehand but he kind of avoided me and he did bow out early [in the match]. I donāt know if he did that because he didnāt want to work with me or whatever because there was three other guys in the match. He could have done something. He was in there with Sheamus, he could have done a spot.
āWe talked. I told him ā and this is exactly what I said ā I said āHey man, what was said, I donāt agree with it. I thought it was bullcrap. Itās not cool. I just want you to know I apologise, I apologise on her behalf as well. On top of that I think youāre a great performer and if you would ever have it in your heart to work with me, I would love that. And, I know youāre taking some time off because Becky is pregnant, about to have a kid, just want to wish you luck, congratulations, enjoy your time with your beautiful girlfriend ā at the time, now wife ā and your beautiful child.ā And he literally looked at me and he goes āHoly s***. I didnāt expect that. Everything I hear from people and what I expected⦠that was really cool. Thank you.ā And thatās where we ended it. I said āThank you for listening and giving me the time, bro. I hope weāre good now.ā And I will say this, weāre good enough to be working together, I donāt think weāre friends. Iāll tell you this, that last curb stomp he gave me at the Royal Rumble, weāre not friends [laughs]. When I get in the ring with him, heās going to get it! Put that online! Can we get back in the ring? I need to repay that curb stomp, bro!ā
