Matt Riddle: WWE star shows off black eye sustained during Seth Rollins match

Matt Riddle has shown off the black eye that he sustained during his match with Seth Rollins at WWE Clash at the Castle.

In what was one of the matches of the night, Riddle went one-on-one with long-time rival Seth Rollins at the big WWE Premium Live Event in Cardiff last weekend.

Rollins may have picked up the win on the night, but Riddle didn’t walk out of Wales empty-handed, leaving the Principality Arena with a nasty black eye.

As noted, in what was the semi-main event slow, Riddle was defeated by Seth Rollins at WWE Clash at the Castle on September 3.

Riddle was left off Monday’s episode of Raw, as was Rollins for that matter, so we haven’t actually seen the former UFC star since his big loss.

The 36-year-old has now uploaded a selfie onto Twitter, as you can see below, showing the effects of his match with the multi-time WWE Champion.

The finish at the match at Clash at the Castle, as well as Riddle’s tweet, make it seem like this won’t be the last time we see the top WWE Superstars go head-to-head.

The match was actually supposed to happen at SummerSlam on July 30, but Triple H made the decision to postpone it as one of his first acts as Head of Creative after being given the role following Vince McMahon’s retirement.

Triple H wanted the match to have more heat, according to reports, so made the decision to take it off the card for SummerSlam, allowing another four weeks of build before Clash at the Castle.

Many fans have praised Triple H for the decision, believing that the pair benefitted
