Here are some of the latest WWE rumors that are floating around the web.
5) Update On Matt Riddle’s “Backstage Heat”
According to a report from Ringside News, a lot of the rumors of Matt Riddle having backstage heat in WWE are exaggerated.
Here is what the site wrote:
Ringside News has learned that the backstage heat on Matt Riddle is “over exaggerated.” It was stated that Riddle “plays it up” so he can appear as “the underdog rebel.” This tactic works as he draws continued support.
Our source stated that Riddle “pissed off Brock Lesnar” and then Lesnar told him about it. A similar situation happened with Goldberg. Those two stories are true, but we were also told: “I’ve never heard of anyone saying ‘he can’t work the main roster.’”
It was also made clear to us that nobody has tried to get Matt Riddle fired and “he doesn’t have any political enemies” at this time backstage.
My Take:
- I agree with this as I never bought into the rumors that Brock Lesnar didn’t want Riddle on RAW. The guy has a private dressing room and gets to choose who he works with. I am sure that he doesn’t care about Riddle in the slightest.
4) Backstage Reaction To Nia Jax
Dave Meltzer and Bryan Alvarez were discussing Kairi Sane getting busted open during her match against Nia Jax. During their discussion, Alvarez read a text message from a WWE source. This message called for Nia to get fired.
Here is the text message that he read:
“1000 percent Nia’s fault. She needs to be f**king fired. She is dangerous. Fire her before she cripples or kills somebody.”
My Take:
- The good news is that Kairi is okay and was able to finish the match.
