The reason Riddle took a shot at Goldberg was that he blocked him on Twitter silently. Booker T then talked about Riddle needing work in the ring, which irked the latter, and he went on to refer to Booker as "an old WCW wrestler". Recently, Lance Storm took a funny jibe at the fact that Riddle doesn't wear shoes, sometimes even while making public appearances.

Finally, former WWE Superstar Chris Jericho took to Twitter and addressed Riddle as 'kid', telling him not to disrespect legends of the ring. Matt Riddle isn't someone who will take an insult or a jibe lightly, and he went on to fire back at every single one of these legends.

He completed his MBA from the Symbiosis Institute of Telecom Management in 2016 and worked with multiple banking institutions, including Tech Mahindra. While he started writing WWE articles for Sportskeeda in 2019 as a hobby, it eventually became a significant part of his professional journey.

Abhilash checks his articles thrice before sending them to the editing team, ensuring his work is highly accurate and reliable.

He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.

When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
