 Roman Reigns is the top name in WWE and one of the faces of the company, alongside Cody Rhodes. The star was upset with another WWE Superstar for comments he made. In the past, Matt Riddle has commented about how he can beat Roman Reigns in a real fight. He spoke about it again today, speaking to TMZ Sports, saying that in a real battle, he would be able to beat down the star. He was talking about the star and called him a name, playing on the name Tribal Chief. He then revealed that after he had first said he could beat Reigns in a fight, the star got angry with him and sent him a text. He then formulated an apology and showed it to Randy Orton. |  Matt Riddle snapped today during an interview and ended up attacking a reporter. He was appearing on a podcast, and the ending did not go well. Riddle was in conversation with TMZ Sports’ Inside the Ring podcast. There, things went wrong after the reporter implied that while he was on Riddle’s side most of the time, he did not think that he could knock out Jake Paul and that he was just looking for a huge payday. The former WWE star did not take too kindly to that and decided to attack him and curse him out. Matt Riddle was speaking about how he would have the advantage over Jake Paul, and how a fight between the two of them would put the younger Paul brother at risk of losing. The contrary opinion of the reporter, along with the comment that he was just looking for a payday, did not sit well with Riddle. |
FROM THE RUMOR MILL
A former WWE champion’s sudden exit from the company has been the talk of the town over the last few weeks. A new report has provided further insight into what led to the star’s departure. Andrade returned to the global juggernaut in 2024 after a stint with AEW. However, the Mexican star’s second stint with WWE did not last long, as he was released from his contract last month. The 35-year-old shocked the pro wrestling world last night as he made his return to All Elite Wrestling on Dynamite, where he attacked Kenny Omega and joined The Don Callis Family.
Andrade’s AEW return left many confused, as WWE Superstars often have a 90-day non-compete clause when they are released from their contract. PWInsider explained the situation, noting that the former United States Champion was fired due to numerous wellness violations over the last year.
TOP FEATURES
Roman Reigns made his long-awaited return on this week’s RAW after being off WWE TV for a month. He appeared during the Tornado Tag Team match between The Usos and The Vision, attacking the heel duo and enabling his real-life cousins to secure the victory. However, it now appears that there’s only one man whom Reigns needs to appoint as his new Right-Hand Man, and it’s not Jimmy Uso. At Clash in Paris, Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed double-teamed Reigns and eliminated him after he had defeated Reed in a one-on-one match.
This led to Jey Uso confronting The Vision on the following Monday night show before finally reuniting with Jimmy Uso. Given that The YEET Master recently started displaying traits of OTC1, who had advised him a few weeks ago to smash all his opponents, many now believe that former Undisputed WWE Champion would crown Jey as OTC2 and make Jimmy Uso his Right-Hand Man after his return, while he rules as their Wiseman. However, in a shocking twist, Reigns might appoint Jacob Fatu instead of Jimmy.

ANALYSIS CORNER
On the surface, everything seems to be fine between WWE stars Cody Rhodes and Randy Orton. The two performers have been allies for years, dating back to their time together in Legacy. Rhodes moved on to AEW and came back to WWE as a bigger star. The Viper remained and won even more major titles. Since The American Nightmare has been back, they’ve resumed their friendship, battling Solo Sikoa’s group, and now, Seth Rollins’ Vision. While they appear to be on the same page, fans could be in for a big shocker soon.
