Matt Riddle has competed against some of the biggest WWE Superstars of all time.
MLW World Heavyweight Champion Matt Riddle was a recent guest on Rewind, Recap, Relive. When asked about competing against former WWE Champion Rob Van Dam during this year’s Battle Riot match, Riddle said he was a big fan of RVD growing up, and getting to wrestle against him earlier this year was a dream come true
“Me and Rob, we’re bros. We really are, and growing up, I was always a huge RVD fan,” Matt Riddle said. “I never like to say I was a super fan of anybody, but I loved really good, hard-hitting wrestling. And I felt like Rob brought that, but also wasn’t like, you know, brother. He had nothing wrong with that. It’s a different character.
“Rob was cool, laid back, but his in-ring ability, his athleticism, all that showed you that, like, yo, this guy can go and then to wrestle him at MLW, which, dream come true, he was the final entrant into the Battle Riot, so it was, you know, like, I wish i had more energy. But it was the end of the match, but we got to mix it up, and so cool. It was a moment in time.” [H/T: Fightful]
By winning Battle Riot VII, Riddle became the first man in MLW history to win that matchup twice.
