Matt Riddle has become a controversial character in WWE since his debut in NXT a few years ago. His background in MMA has pushed him to want matches against some of the company's biggest stars.

Riddle has already had altercations with the likes of Goldberg and Seth Rollins, but it appears The Ultimate Bro had his heart set on facing Brock Lesnar at some point in his career.

Back at the Royal Rumble in 2020, Matt Riddle was included and hoped that he would be able to cross paths with The Beast. After he called the former WWE Champion out several times on social media and made it clear that he wanted to retire him, it appears that Lesnar wasn't interested.

Riddle told TalkSPORT that he was confronted by Paul Heyman and Lesnar backstage and told there was no chance he would be facing Lesnar.

“Then, of course, [Paul] Heyman and his security guard – I won’t mention his name [laughs] – him and his security guard come up to me and basically told me I had no chance in hell – it was very Vince McMahon like [laughs] – no chance in hell that I was going to get that match with him and I’d have better luck doing something else." Riddle said.

Riddle was obviously disappointed. But given the way he had tried to goad Brock Lesnar into a WWE match, it made sense that The Beast wanted no part of it.
