WWE star Riddle did an interview with talkSPORT where he revealed he spoke with Goldberg after their WWE event in Saudi Arabia. Riddle had issues with other WWE stars with him calling out everyone and wanting to retire people.

“Bill and I had a conversation,” the WWE man revealed. “It was like ‘Bill, I’m sorry if I rubbed you the wrong way’ on the way back from Saudi Arabia. We were on the plane, had a couple of cocktails. I’m not saying we’re best friends, but we are doing way better than we were. I think just us talking and seeing him work [longer matches this year], you just get to know somebody and understand them. He’s like me; if you just listen to the dirt sheets or watch me do interviews, you might hate me [laughs]. But in real life, I’m a pretty nice guy. I talk crap, but that’s just to drum up interest. He realizes that – I think we’re all good.”

Now Riddle has to deal with more hate as he has teamed up with WWE star Randy Orton. Things might be better with Goldberg but not with everyone else.

“No, I think people hate me even more now I’m with Randy. ‘This son of a bitch thinks he’s untouchable now’ [laughs]. I try to tell Vince and other people, it’s part of my persona. It’s part of what makes me popular. I’m legit, I’ve fought in the UFC. Anyone can test me anytime. Everybody here knows I can throw down and I’m going to talk shit. It’s one of those things where I can’t change that. I talk trash. For me, isn’t that my job? Make people care about what we’re doing and talk trash so people say ‘oh man, I’d watch that fight!’ or is it real? That’s my job, that’s what I do. And it rubs some people the wrong way. But at the end of the day, even Bill [Goldberg] and maybe one day a certain Beast, they come to understand what I’m trying to do.”

Let's see if things get better for Riddle with his fellow WWE stars. Goldberg is one that appears good.
