“Brock Lesnar Exposed: Matt Riddle Accuses The Beast of Going Rogue in WWE!”
When it comes to Brock Lesnar, one thing is certain — The Beast does whatever The Beast wants. But according to former WWE star Matt Riddle, that attitude has crossed the line more than once, leaving chaos in its wake.
Matt Riddle Blasts Brock Lesnar for Going Off-Script
During an interview with TMZ Sports, Riddle didn’t hold back when asked about Lesnar. The outspoken ex-UFC fighter claimed that Lesnar went completely off script during the Elimination Chamber in Saudi Arabia.
“I’ve worked with Brock a couple times — at Extreme Rules, Elimination Chamber in Saudi. He literally forgot his cue, smashed through the plexiglass, and just stormed in,” Riddle revealed. “He cut the match short by 15 minutes. He just writes his own ticket, and Paul Heyman covered for him like it was nothing. But it wasn’t a mistake — Brock just went into business for himself. F*** him.”

Riddle on WWE Release: “It Was All About Money”
Riddle didn’t stop there. He opened up about his WWE release under the TKO merger, where cost-cutting moves gutted the roster.
“They had their reasons, sure. But it was mostly money,” Riddle said. “They were firing people left and right — Dolph Ziggler, Mustafa Ali, so many others. My last year I was supposed to make a million dollars. They cut me before I even got to start cashing in.”
When Riddle First Met Lesnar: “Keep Your Mouth Shut”
Riddle also shared a tense story about his very first encounter with Brock at the Royal Rumble. After previously talking trash about Lesnar on the indies, Riddle thought it was all just fun — until he came face-to-face with The Beast.
“I see him backstage, I say ‘What’s up dude?’ and suddenly his security asks if he needs help,” Riddle recalled. “Next thing I know, Brock grabs me by the neck and tells me we’ll never work together and to keep my f***ing mouth shut.”
While Riddle admits they’re not friends, he says Lesnar “understands” him a little more now. Still, the message was clear from day one: you don’t mess with Brock Lesnar.
