Former WWE star Matt Riddle spoke with Fox News Digital about several topics, including his MLW World Title win.
Riddle said, “It feels pretty good. It’s been a long time coming, I felt. But you know, anything worthwhile isn’t easy, and it feels really, really good… To be able to do everything I’ve done and then come back full circle and then win the heavyweight championship against Kojima, who is also an absolute legend, it couldn’t have been any better. It was a sensational weekend. The crowd was white-hot in Texas, and it was an amazing evening.”
On his run in MLW:
“It’s only gotten bigger and better from [a year ago], but even then, I was working with the best people in the business, and I was working with the best competition in the business. I lost in the finals against Swerve and we’ve all seen what he’s done since then just like everybody’s seen what I’ve done since then. MLW isn’t like a locker room full of pushovers. They got, quote, a laundry list of fires plus all the CMLL talent, New Japan talent. … Since I’ve been back, it’s just been top guys and a top promotion and getting the ability to have high-level matches.”
