10 Dream Matches Wrestlers Refuse To Work

8. Brock Lesnar Vs Riddle

Batista The Rock
WWE

Put simply - Brock doesn't want to.

Lesnar has gone on record as saying Riddle hasn't been and never will be for him, and he's a man that pretty much call any shot he wants if and when he returns to action. Following a backstage interaction at the 2020 Royal Rumble between the pair, TalkSport reported that 'The Beast' said “Kid, you might as well stop saying my name and tagging me in sh*t because you and I will never work together. Ever.” in response to some post-show needly by 'The Original Bro' online.

Dave Meltzer corroborated similar sentiment in the months that followed, mostly in response to fans that really wanted it. There's a lot of meat on the bone - both are former MMA stars that have mastered this other art, the two have never faced, Brock mangling Riddle would be incredible - but this is on juicy slab Brock's got no interest in.
