Goldberg and Riddle have had a tumultuous relationship over the past year. However, now both of them have winded up in the RAW locker room and Riddle is one-half of the RAW Tag Team Champion.
But nothing controversial here, yet. According to ‘The Original Bro,’ both men have buried the hatchet long ago. In a recent interview with Ariel Helwani, Riddle chronicled his interaction with Goldberg.
“When he first came back, I was waiting, I was in position. I knew what was probably gonna happen. But I put myself there. I wanted to ease the tension slightly.” Riddle said. He did not want Goldberg to think they will have a fight whenever he showed up in WWE.

“He saw me, he’s shaking some hands, and then he comes up to me and he gave me a funny look,” Riddle said. “He turned his head to the side and then shook my hand and said, ‘Hey, Congrats kid’, and I was like, ‘Oh thanks. Go kill it out there.'”
Then Goldberg cut a promo on Bobby Lashley. When he came back, Riddle congratulated him, and the two shared a funny moment. “You know the guy has got an aura, and I have respect for him. We might disagree on a couple of things, but it is what it is,” Riddle concluded.

Riddle reacted to Goldberg’s comments about him
Previously both superstars have criticized the other. Recently Goldberg called Riddle a “pr*ck” but still acknowledged his passion for the game. Riddle took notice of this and let this one go.
“He said he might not like me as a person, which I completely understand,” Riddle said. “I don’t think we’ll ever- and I might be wrong, we might go out for drinks one day, but I doubt me and Goldberg are probably ever gonna break bread like that but maybe one day.”
