“Real Life I Smash”: Revisiting His UFC Glory Days, Ex-MMA Star Throws a Shade at Vince McMahon’s WWE

UFC wrestlers transitioning to WWE is not an unknown phenomenon. Over the years, lots of successful UFC stars like Brock Lesnar, and Ronda Rousey have tried their luck and thrived under Vince McMahon‘s WWE. But now and then, they reminisce about their old days and take slight digs at WWE.

Now a popular WWE superstar has slyly taken a dig at WWE while revisiting his UFC glory.

How did the superstar take a dig at Vince McMahon?

Matt Riddle, who is a part of the Raw brand, has entertained viewers with his charming persona over the years. Continuing that tradition, the former UFC fighter recently shared a clip from his fight days in the octagon. With the caption “Real Life I smash”, Riddle posted a video where he cherished his 11-year-old victory, making Chris Clements tap out in the 3rd round while throwing a slight shade at Vince McMahon. Fans on social media have generated a solid response toward Riddle’s video and submission maneuver.

UFC fired Matt Riddle back in 2014 after his relationship with UFC President Dana White strained for those unversed. The original bro had an impressive record of 8 wins and 3 losses in his entire stint.

Matt Riddle’s transition from UFC, which is real and hard-hitting to WWE, which is purely based on entertainment, has been remarkable. He joins the likes of Brock Lesnar, Bobby Lashley, and Ronda Rousey on the list of people who successfully held the fortress in both organizations.

With a smashing tenure in UFC, the 37-year-old would now look to smash in WWE in the coming years.

Riddle’s smashing future in WWE

Matt Riddle over the years has earned the reputation of being a safe worker in WWE. Understanding his boundaries and the art of wrestling, Riddle has consistently delivered quality matches. The former member of RKBro is currently embroiled in a feud with current Intercontinental Champion Gunther.

While he awaits his old teammate, he occasionally keeps teaming up with Drew McIntyre on weekly episodes of Raw. With SummerSlam hanging in the balance, Riddle would like to close the chapter with Gunther and capture the prestigious Intercontinental championship for the first time in his career.
