For a long time, fans have been wanting to see Matt Riddle wrestle Goldberg. But things never came to fruition. Riddle even seemed to be building up for a future storyline by talking trash about Goldberg’s wrestling moves.
Despite being released from the Stamford-based promotion, The Original Bro still wants to wrestle the WWE Hall of Famer. Goldberg is also a free agent and the two still could wrestle each other elsewhere. During a recent Virtual Signing, Matt Riddle shared that he wants to still wrestle him and also claimed that it could happen in AEW.
“You know, I don’t wanna give too much but I personally would love to work William [Goldberg]. I think me and Goldberg would be a great match. I think I could get something out of him that people haven’t seen in years and I think it’d be great for business. I know it’d be really great for me, but at the end of the day, you can’t — you know, if he wants to do it, he’ll do it. If he needs to do it, he’ll do it and I mean there’s a couple places we could do that. I would imagine maybe an AEW, maybe a TNA, maybe a New Japan but if it was gonna happen, it’d probably be AEW,” Matt Riddle said. [H/T POST Wrestling]
Matt Riddle might sign with AEW
During the same Virtual Signing, Riddle also showed interest in potentially signing with the Tony Khan-led promotion AEW.
“Yeah (I’d consider going to AEW). Honestly, I feel like a lot of the talent when I got released were gonna try to do that and I kind of wanted to think outside the box and I also wanted to maybe not rush back into doing TV matches again because TV’s a lot different than wrestling on pay-per-view or wrestling on the indies… TNA isn’t out of the picture either, you know? It’s just I know there’s certain things I wanna do and I really wanted to work in Japan and I made that a priority.”
