Riddle Rips On Roman Reigns For Saying He Moves The Needle

The wrestling world has been talking a lot about CM Punk recently, but during a recent interview with BT Sport, Roman Reigns took a shot at Punk when he said, “When it comes down to it, CM Punk was not as good or as over as a John Cena, wasn’t as good or as over or moved the needle like The Rock. It just was what it was.”

Roman Reigns then went on to tout the success of this year’s SummerSlam pay-per-view when he posted the following on Twitter:

Matt Riddle and Randy Orton had a big moment at SummerSlam when they defeated AJ Styles and Omos to become Raw Tag Team Champions, and during a recent interview with Bleacher Report the new champion made it clear that he’s not impressed by Roman.

“No disrespect to Roman, he seems like a swell fella, but at the same time, it’s like when people say they’re a good parent,” he said. “You know what? If you were a good parent, your kids would be telling you you’re a good parent. When he’s saying ‘Acknowledge me’ or ‘I move the needle,’ no, you don’t. You’re related to The Rock. Shut up. Like, I’m not impressed, I can beat you up in a real fight. So, shut your mouth.

“You’re not moving needles. I’m the real stallion, RK-Bro is moving the merch, we’re moving the needle, and that’s it. I don’t want to say too much, I’m not trying to get in trouble. Hey, hats off to him. He’s amazing at what he does. I do like what he does, but at the same time, it’s like, get off your high horse. You’re in that spot for a reason. You’re not a bro. You’re second generation. I’m first generation.”
