Former Star Had To Be Kept Off WWE Show During A Roman Reigns Appearance

Over the last few years some big names have appeared on The Bump, and Roman Reigns appeared on the show in August of 2021. It just so happens that former WWE star Matt Riddle was also scheduled for the same episode, but they didn’t end up interacting with each other.

During a recent episode of The Wrestling Matt the former host of The Bump, Matt Camp explained that Riddle was kept off the set until Roman’s segment had wrapped up.

“[Roman] came on a year and a half later in August of 2021 because he had a partnership with Shady Rays, a sunglasses company, and he did the interview from a house that had an outdoor shower somewhere. He was in full Roman mode. It had been a year.

The funny part, a little side part of that show, is that Riddle was the in-studio guest and we 100% did not put Riddle on the set until Roman was gone and off the video screen. Just not going to mess with that. Then Riddle went and said something dumb about Roman right after that in another interview. Right after that.

I think that’s where he told the story about writing a letter to Roman, apologizing, and Randy told him to do it. We made a point to keep Riddle…we would have those interactions where someone would be in studio and then they’d interact with the guest, whether they were in storyline or not, we’d have some fun stuff with that. We 100% kept Riddle off the set until the Roman interview was done, which was the right call.”
