Matt Riddle comments on the possibility of working for AEW in the future
During an autograph signing session with Signed By Superstars, Matt Riddle commented on the possibility of working for AEW in the future…
“Honestly, I feel like a lot of the talent when I got released, were going to try to do that [join AEW]. I wanted to think outside the box and maybe not rush right back into doing TV matches. TV is a lot different than wrestling on ppl or the Indies. There are commercials, they cut times, they change things. For me, right now, New Japan, MLW, the Indies, I can display my art and I’m not under such a crunch of time or requirement. I have a lot more freedom. TNA isn’t out of the picture either. There are certain things I wanted to do. I really wanted to work in Japan and I made that a priority.”
Riddle did mention that a match against Bill Goldberg would most likely happen in AEW…
“I personally would love to work with William Goldberg, he would be a great match. I think I could get something out of him that people haven’t seen in years and I think it’d be great for business. It’d be really good for me, but at the end of the day, you can’t – if he wants to do it, he’ll do it, if he needs to do it, he’ll do it. There’s a couple of places we could do that, I would imagine, you know maybe in AEW, TNA or NJPW. If it was going to happen, it would probably in AEW.” (quotes courtesy of Jeremy Lambert)
