Kevin Owens Hits Back At Matt Riddle For 'Hard To Work With' Comments

Reigning MLW World Heavyweight Champion Matt Riddle recently discussed working in WWE with the likes of Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn, branding the pair as hard to work with in the sense that he often couldn’t get a word in during plans.

Speaking on My Mom’s Basement, Kevin Owens hit back at Riddle, stating that given their status in WWE and Riddle’s track record, it was right for them to be taking the lead. 

“It’s funny, you know, because coming from him. I have nothing against him at all, but you know, he’s to me, he’s a guy who had really amazing opportunities handed to him, like being Randy’s tag team partner for so long and basically getting to ride the coattails of a legend. And he managed to screw it all up, not because of his abilities, because he’s very talented and fairly athletic, but because of his own attitude and poor choices. So for him to say that we’re hard to work with, or whatever it is, and he couldn’t get a word in, there is a pretty good reason for that, you know, like, you look at his track record, you look at our track record. I think you know that speaks for itself, but that’s how he felt, you know, it’s fine.  I can’t even I can’t say he’s wrong. When he said, like it was hard to get a word in, probably was because we probably didn’t let him get a word in too much, just because we, you know, we’ve been around him, and we work a certain way, and it works.”

Owens was recently ruled out of action with a neck injury that requires surgery, revealing so in a segment on SmackDown, following which a heated altercation took place with a fan. In the same interview on My Mom’s Basement, Owens opened up on his injury and his disappointment about the news being leaked.
