There has been lots of internal talk about the future of Ryback lately. He has heat on him for several different things.

For one, officials feel he hasn’t really developed well in the ring like they were hoping. There’s a feeling that Ryback has actually regressed in the ring. He also has heat on him for roughing up several different talents, most recently CM Punk.

Officials also feel that Ryback doesn’t present himself well when making appearances for the company. WWE has gotten feedback on several appearances he’s made over the past few months where people said he didn’t look happy to be there, and this began before they turned him heel. One source described it as Ryback seeming to be annoyed by making public appearances.

It’s said the “bloom is off the rose” with Ryback unless he turns things around. Vince McMahon has lost so much faith in Ryback that he may remove Paul Heyman from him so Heyman can move forward.

Good the guys a bust sadly. I was hyped for his debut but his ring work is below required. Looking back I wish they kept the destructive monster face gimmick. I wasn't overly keen on it at the time but it's just the role for him and could gave helped the mid card feuds by being very over.

I can tell Ryback's annoyance with public appearances based on videos and interviews. I'm not sure if taking Paul Heyman away from him is a punishment, and, if i will turn him face or not. Backstage heat has always existed and I find certain measures to be a bit ridiculous.

I think he's just annoyed from being shoved into every little thing so quick by WWE. They really damaged his character with their booking really. Aside from that, he should have increased by ring skills by now, and not rough up the wrestlers like he does a bit often.

Hey, dumb fucks, that is your fucking fault for pushing the clown.

Man, finally they might start to realise. Polishing a Turd, doesn't matter because it's still a turd.

Officials aren't happy with his ring work? Since when has sucking donkey dick in the ring meant anything? It's all the other qualities that someone has (look, aura, charisma, personality, mic skills, etc.) that makes them a star and Ryback certainly has the look. He doesn't have that special kind of aura that guys like Goldberg had, but Batista didn't have it either when he first started out. It was his booking that made him a big star, and therein lies the problem with Ryback. He's been jobbed out in just about every feud he's had (Punk, Shield, Henry, Cena, Punk again, etc.)

IMO, the best thing they could have done with Ryback was to have him drop out of the WWE Title picture immediately after HIAC last year and keep him as a monster babyface (him going after the IC Title would have been fine.)

^Thought exactly what Lockard just said (and his sig is gold) Ryback may not be the best worker, but it's his aura and look and stuff that got him over. When he was crushing people, smarks talked up how he was "god-awful", nobody really cared and rightfully so.

But he seems like he's going for a "normal" in-ring style instead of being a monster. Doing lockups, throwing weak-looking punches, little clotheslines in the corner... just nothing special about him in the ring any more. Face Ryback worked because he had this dominant moveset, anything he did could break you apart... now when you see him in the ring he's barely anything to fear (partially because he's booked as a hapless jobber).

Don't think Ryback's dangerous aura can be rebuilt, but they may as well try.

They fucked up Ryback a year ago. He should have gone for a midcard title. Not for the wwe title.
