Matt Riddle was a featured guest on today’s edition of WWE’s “The Bump” to discuss a variety of topics, including his feud with The Bloodline and how it has changed him.
You can check out some highlights from the interview below:
On if it’s been hard to be positive while feuding with The Bloodline: “Yeah, it is. Remember, before he hurt me, I brought some bongos out, and Jey was playing them, Jimmy played them a little bit. But Solo wouldn’t play them. The guy’s just no fun. He’s just frowning all the time. The worst part, like I said, he’s a bully. He takes advantage of people when they’re not expecting it, and he doesn’t play fair. The thing about The Bro, The Bro plays fair. He plays rough, he plays tough, but I play fair. He does kind of put a thorn in my side.”
On what he’s learned from the feud: I think at the end of the day, I’m gonna put the beats on Solo this Saturday. But I think the one thing The Bloodline has showed me and Solo’s showed me that I can’t always be so happy and carefree and go-lucky. If I am, people take advantage of me. It’s just finding that middle ground. I don’t want to be too mean or too angry. That’s just not a good way to live life. But I also don’t want to be too nice and too giving because then people take advantage. So I just got to find the perfect bro. I don’t want to be a rude dude. You wouldn’t like the rude dude.”
