Later, WWE also confirmed that they have officially added Daniel Cormier to the match.
There has been tremendous animosity between Seth Rollins and Matt Riddle. Every fan would be eager to see them face to face in a Fight Pit Bout.
Many fans wanted Kane Shamrock to be the special guest referee and he himself expressed his desire to join the match. However, WWE decided to go with another MMA legend.
Seen posts about people wanting me to guest ref the Rollins vs Riddle Fight Pit… If so we’d have to call it the Lions Den ???? Someone would have to let @WWE or @TripleH know ????

Helwani doubts whether Daniel Cormier would be impartial
According to the report of Ariel Helwani, Daniel Cormier considers himself the only person who is fit to be a referee for the bout between Matt Riddle and Seth Rollins inside the Fight Pit.
Helwani quotes Daniel’s words,
“The Seth Rollins-Matt Riddle rivalry has become very intense and personal. That’s why there is only one person who qualifies to be a referee for their match, that’s me. I’ll see you in Philadelphia next saturday.”
No, really. This is legit.
“The Rollins-Riddle feud has gotten very intense and personal. There’s only one person qualified enough to oversee this brutal match at Xtreme Rules and it’s me. I’ll see you guys in Philly next Saturday.”
– @dc_mma, special freakin’ guest ref.
