- As seen in the tweet below, Matt Riddle was happy to see Brock Lesnar win back the WWE Universal Championship at yesterday's Crown Jewel. Riddle hoped Lesnar stays right where he is so Riddle can retire the champ in a couple years. This is not the first time Riddle has talked about this topic, noting last month in a conversation on Ariel Helwani's MMA Show that his perfect world would include a career vs. WWE Universal Title match with Lesnar at WrestleMania in 2020 or 2021.
Thank you Brock for coming back and winning the universal title! You're right where I need you bro and it's gonna be that much sweeter when I retire you in a couple years. #kingofbros #bro #stallion #nxt #wwenxt #wwenetwork pic.twitter.com/2e4cbvxWRN
