Matt Riddle has always coveted a match vs. Brock Lesnar, but his hopes were dashed backstage before the 2020 Royal Rumble. According to Riddle's comments on Ariel Helwani's MMA Show, Lesnar came up to him and erm... gently reminded the ex-UFC man that they'd never work together.

Never!

Specifically, Brock was peeved that Riddle kept calling him out in interviews and on social media. 'The Beast' wanted to let Matt know that he had zero chance of getting booked in even a one-off with Lesnar, so he should quit talking or bringing his name up to the media.

That, as they say, was very much that.

Brock's thoughts on working Riddle haven't softened in the near three-years since. There's been no word on a possible Riddle vs. Lesnar showdown on pay-per-view - instead, Matt has been booked in comedy stuff alongside the likes of Randy Orton and Elias. A personal feud with Seth Rollins did show he's capable of being serious though.
