Earlier before the start of Monday Night Raw, Riddle and Rollins had a brawl in the parking lot outside the PPG Paints Arena in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The two bitter rivals had to be separated by WWE officials.
Later in the night they were set up for an interview segment which got heated. Rollins told the ‘Original Bro’ that he wasn’t on his level. Riddle replied that he was going to embarrass Rollins like Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes did before him. From there things got escalated quickly between the two.

The remaining part of the interview saw things get even more personal between the two wrestlers.
Rollins told Riddle , “You don’t have a family because your wife divorced you and your kids don’t want to see your b*tch a** anymore.”
This left Riddle infuriated as he belted out a few expletives including the F-bomb, before leaving to go and find Rollins.

While some felt that Riddle should have come up with a savage reply of his own.
He should’ve shot back and mentioned how Rollins’ wife didn’t want to team up with him in WWE.

Seth Rollins and Riddle had real life heat
What adds another interesting layer to this feud is that both Rollins and Riddle had real life heat not that long ago.
‘The Monday Night Messiah’ even stated publicly that he doesn’t want to fight Riddle at any point in his career.
The ‘RK-Bro’ member clarified at that time that the animosity stemmed from an Instagram post by his then wife, Lisa.
