Brock Lesnar is understood to have got into a row with Matt RiddleCredit: WWE
According to the reliable Pro Wrestling Sheet, the row was NOT part of any storyline or the show and will not go down with chief Vince McMahon.
It is understood the bust-up was purely verbal and the pair were separated before any of it got too much out of hand.
Lesnar is said to have approached Riddle after passing in the corridors, and demanded answers over any problems between them.
The Universal Champion would go on to compete in the Royal Rumble, and come in at the No1 spot ahead of some big names.
Riddle has said in the past how he would like to retire his rival if they faced each other at WrestleMania in the future.
He said: "Maybe, I don’t know. I don’t even think Brock knows who I am.
"He’s never acknowledged me. I’ve been to multiple shows he’s been at and I’ve never seen him in person."
Riddle is known for his outspoken views, and famously had a public row with WWE legend Goldberg last year.
The two came to blows at SummerSlam after the NXT wrestler criticised his rival on social media, which did not go down well.
The WWE have yet to comment on the story.
