WWE star Matt Riddle admits Brock Lesnar legitimately hates him – but he still wants to retire the legend and The Undertaker.
Former UFC fighter Riddle, 34, was recently called up to the SmackDown Live roster from NXT.
For years he has been very vocal of his desire to not just face his fellow ex-MMA fighter but also finish his career.
The Beast Incarnate is not believed to have taken kindly to those comments, and his dislike of Riddle is rumoured to be why he ended up on the blue brand instead of Raw alongside Lesnar.
The King of Bros recently appeared on Corey Graves’ After the Bell podcast and admits he probably went about challenging the former Universal and WWE Champion the wrong way.
He said: “I’ll be honest with you. The guys has it all.
“I think he’s taken my comments as like, literal disrespect.
“I think he really hates me.”
Riddle continued: “Which, hey, ok. I get it. I rubbed you the wrong way.
“I told everybody that I get it, I’ll stay away. I won’t call people out anymore.
“I won’t call these people out anymore. I’m not going to go away.
“I’m going to make myself valuable enough to where the money is on the table. I know I can do that.”
Despite realising the mistakes of his past, Riddle is still adamant about retiring Lesnar.
And he also wants to put the final nail in the coffin of The Undertaker’s iconic career too.

<!--googleon: all-->Riddle added: “When I first started wrestling, when I sold the house and everything, people would ask me what is my goal for wrestling.
“I would say that I like to set goals that are almost unattainable because in the process of trying to get to that goal, you’re probably going to be great in the process.
“So they asked, what’s your goal? I want to retire the Undertaker and I want to retire Brock Lesner.
“Brock, nothing but the utmost respect and I think my words were taken as disrespectful which is fine, but at the end of the day, I just know what I have to do.
“I need to make myself valuable enough to get in the ring with him and I hope I can do it.”
