On March 1, 2026, at the Boca Raton Championship Wrestling event, Matt Riddle was involved in an incident with a fan known online as Bad A** Construction Worker. During the show, Riddle shoved the fan, who later claimed he hadn’t even provoked the star.

Now the fan has taken to Instagram to call out Randy Orton. In the clip, the self-proclaimed Bad A** Construction Worker took shots at Orton, saying he was going to assault the legend because the latter was friends with Matt Riddle.

“Hey, old piece of cr*p fisherman Randy Gorton. All you ever did good was make frozen fish products. And now, unfortunately, you have to get your a** kicked because you’re on my old piece of cr*p, who’s gonna hold my pocket after I kick his a** list. Yeah, dude. You were friends with that piece of cr*p Matt Riddle. Now I’m gonna have to make you pay for it, bud,” he said.

He also claimed that he would “superplex” The Apex Predator out of the ring if they ever faced each other.

“So anytime you want to ‘RKNO’ anybody. It’s not gonna happen, bud. Cuz I’m just gonna superplex you off the whole freaking ring. All right, bud? Yeah, just thank freaking Matt Riddle for your a** whooping that’s coming for you, boy,” he added.
