5 WWE stars who have had real-life heat with Brock Lesnar 

#1. Matt Riddle

Over the past few years, Matt Riddle has made a number of comments on social media about Goldberg - the most famous of which followed his botched match with The Undertaker at Super ShowDown 2019 in Saudi Arabia. Riddle has also previously been very outspoken about wanting to face Brock Lesnar in a WWE ring. Riddle has even suggested that he could be the man to retire Lesnar.

Riddle had hoped that he would cross paths with Lesnar in the 2020 Royal Rumble match, but 'The Beast' had already been eliminated before Riddle came out - seemingly by design. Riddle and Lesnar then went on to have a backstage altercation, where Lesnar made it clear that he would never wrestle Riddle in WWE.

Riddle was said to be hugely disappointed after the exchange and Dave Meltzer noted on a recent episode of The Wrestling Observer that Matt Riddle was moved over to SmackDown by WWE because of the heat with Brock Lesnar:

"That's a weird one. There's a couple of things. Number 1, Lesnar does dislike him and there's that political situation there. So, that's the only thing I can think of, maybe other than Prichard maybe wanting him. He got AJ and he got Matt Riddle. I mean that's like a pretty good 1-2 punch. We'll see how it works."

One privilege that Lesnar undoubtedly has in WWE is the option to chose who he works with. If Brock dislikes a particular Superstar - as he seems to do with Riddle - it is fair to say that the chances of seeing that particular match or feud drop considerably.
