Since their match at Summerslam 2022 was cancelled, it’s been hard to keep Seth Rollins & Matt Riddle away from each other. Their brutal brawls have been a highlight of Monday Night RAW, and tonight – they finally meet in a sanctioned match. Rollins is still trying to bounce back after being shut out in a feud with Cody Rhodes, and defeating Matt Riddle here tonight at Clash At The Castle could see Rollins turn this year around – but Riddle claiming this big time victory could make him into a proper main event star in WWE. Things got serious when Rollins brought up the family of Riddle, that his wife divorced him and his kids don’t want to see him – and Riddle could be looking to flat out injure Rollins tonight.
Seth Rollins & Matt Riddle Are Here To Steal The Show
Rollins & Riddle would get right into a brawl as the bell rang, with Riddle being driven into the corner – and him fighting out with knee strikes.

The Pedigree was blocked in the ring, with the Bro to Sleep, Powerbomb and Final Flash knee strike landing in sequence – with Rollins somehow able to kick out.
