Riddle recently appeared as a guest on the "My Love Letter To Wrestling" podcast for an in-depth interview covering all things pro wrestling.
During his appearance on the popular program, the R-K-Bro member and WWE Superstar spoke about how he and Pete Dunne were not originally scheduled to win the Dusty Rhodes Classic in 2020, as well as the origins of his pairing with "The BruiserWeight."
Featured below are some of the highlights from the interview.
On how he and Pete Dunne were not originally supposed to win the Dusty Rhodes Classic in 2020: “We weren’t supposed to.”
On how his pairing with Dunne came to be: “I didn’t even know I was teaming with Pete until they said, ‘Hey Matt, can you cut a promo saying how you and Pete met and became a team.’ I was like, ‘we’re a teaming?’ I made up some story where I was like, ‘Pete, you’re a bruiserweight, I’m a bro. Dusty Cup. Let’s do this.’ That was the promo. They shared it and the crowd went crazy. I don’t even know if we were supposed to beat you guys and then they were like, ‘hey, you’re actually going to win this round and lose the next round.’ We’re like, ‘okay.’ The next round they were like, ‘you’re actually going to win this round too and go to the finals.’ ‘Alllright.’ When we won it, I was pretty shocked, and I was like, ‘Okay guys, what are we doing here?’ It was a lot fun. I didn’t see it coming.”
