“I’m not gonna lie, I’m a little surprised that this guy is getting so much attention,” Riddle said in a statement to Ringside News. “At the end of the day, I’m a professional wrestler, and I’ve spent years honing my craft. I’m not some guy who’s just getting into the ring for the first time and thinking he’s some kind of expert. I’ve been doing this for a long time, and I know what I’m doing.”

“WWE is taking this very seriously,” the insider said. “We’ve had multiple conversations with Matt Riddle about the situation, and we’re considering taking action against the construction worker for his comments. We can’t just let people go out there and trash our talent without consequence.”
