Roman Reigns has been the top star in WWE for some time now, and it seems that everyone in the industry has an opinion when it comes to The Tribal Chief.
Recently Roman Reigns criticized CM Punk when he said that Punk wasn’t, “as good or as over as a John Cena, wasn’t as good or as over or moved the needle like The Rock.” Roman also took credit for the success of this year’s SummerSlam pay-per-view when he posted a tweet saying “legit needle moving.”
During a recent interview current Raw Tag Team Champion Riddle decided to take a shot a Roman Reigns when he said that he could beat him up in a real fight, among other things.
“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. 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.”
Dave Meltzer noted on Wrestling Observer Radio that Riddle “ruffled some feathers” with his comments about Roman Reigns, but his push likely won’t be hurt because of it.
“In real life his mouth gets him in trouble a lot, including this last week. It’s not like it’s gonna hurt his push because Vince likes him and everything, but he ruffled some feathers again with his comments on Roman Reigns.”
This week on Monday Night Raw fans saw RK-Bro successfully retain the Raw Tag Team Titles against MVP and Bobby Lashley when Riddle picked up the win for his team.
