Former WWE Superstar Matt Riddle opened up about his dream clash in professional wrestling
Riddle recently opened up about the wrestler with whom he has wanted to wrestle for years.
The former WWE star appreciated Kenny Omega and stated that The Cleaner has the body and the endurance to give viewers an enthralling bout.
"There’s one person I’ve really been wanting to wrestle for years. One person but I don’t think I’m gonna be able to for at least a little bit of time and that one person is Kenny Omega. I feel like he has the body, the build, the endurance, the conditioning, the skills, the style, the emotion. I mean, I just remember when he was wrestling in New Japan a couple of years ago and he was just crushing it and now he’s in AEW and it’s just, to me, that was the one that got away."
Matthew went on to praise Omega and also sent his best wishes for the latter's speedy recovery from diverticulitis.
"And then when I heard he recently has those issues [diverticulitis] like Brock [Lesnar] had, right? And it’s like, I wish him the best, I hope he recovers because — and that’s even if he wants to work with me… To me, he’s on another level. When I think pro wrestling, I think Kenny Omega."[H/T:Post Wrestling]
It remains to be seen whether Matt Riddle will be able to defeat Tanahashi and become the new NJPW World TV Champion on February 23.
