Matt Riddle has openly criticized Bill Goldberg, labeling him as 'unsafe, dangerous, and a liability' following Goldberg's performance at the WWE Super ShowDown in Saudi Arabia in 2019, where he suffered two concussions.

During their first encounter at SummerSlam 2019, Goldberg confronted Riddle about his comments, boasting about his financial success, to which Riddle responded, 'I bet it is.' Although their relationship has improved over time, Riddle acknowledges the differences in their perspectives on wrestling. He remains outspoken about his views on Goldberg but has clarified that he respects Goldberg as a performer despite their rocky history. Riddle's comments reflect the ongoing debate regarding safety standards in wrestling and the complexities of personal relationships within the industry.
