Former WWE superstar Matt Riddle did not hold back his opinion on CM Punk in a recent interview, while also recalling a tense backstage interaction with John Cena.
Speaking on the Going Ringside podcast, Riddle was asked about CM Punk and claimed to have heard negative things from his former colleagues in WWE.
“That guy sucks at fighting and he’s a bitch to work with in the back,” Riddle stated. “He just belly aches and complains… I’ve heard from my boys that still work there (WWE) that he is a headache, and this isn’t a storyline, this is the facts.”
In the same interview, Riddle also shared a story about his first backstage meeting with John Cena.
“I accidentally said I thought he would be bigger,” Riddle recalled. “He kind of gave me a verbal lashing back and forth. He gave me crap for being the ‘King of Bros,’ tried to get me to explain what that was, and no answer was good enough for John Cena.”
