- Ryback appears to be turning babyface after Paul Heyman dismissed Ryback as a potential “Paul Heyman Guy” on Raw on Monday. According to F4WOnline.com, current plans call for Ryback to feud with Brock Lesnar, with a match likely taking place at Royal Rumble.

Meanwhile, while WWE officials would like to have Ryback face Goldberg at WrestleMania XXX, sources within the organization don’t expect the former World Heavyweight Champion to come on board since he would almost certainly be asked to job. Goldberg stated in an interview earlier this year that he would not return to the company to lose.

Sounds pretty awesome to me actually. Ryback vs Lesnar or Goldberg would at least be better than Ryback vs Henry.

I don't have a problem with Ryback becoming an "anti-Heyman-guy" and facing Brock Lesnar. I think it's a great idea to get Ryback back into the fold as a face (his heel character has not been at all compelling) and give him something important to do.

Eh, Ryback has been looking pretty bad as of late, idk. Maybe if they turn him face with a bang he gets over and this works, but I have a hard time seeing that.

I have a hard time getting behind Ryback at all. Never have been, don't think I ever will

Well, I liked him somewhat when he first started. When he was still being booked well, as a monster, that was pretty cool. As soon as he pinned the Miz in two minutes when he was IC champ I knew they were rushing it with the guy, and since HIAC 12 almost every single booking decision has hurt the dude, so yeah, I used to like him but I just don't care for him now. As far as his match vs Brock or Goldberg, well, I particularly would prefer someone else, but if they go with it, even though I disagree, I understand why they'd do it. I wouldn't be mega pumped or anything. Vs Goldberg I guess makes sense, and Goldberg doesn't have that much star power anyway so whatever.

This was the first thing i thought when i saw the backstage segment with Axel and Ryback. He is going to get run through on Lesnars monster return first, from the sounds of it.

I'm not against this at all. I'd rather Lesnar enter the Rumble because that would be awesome and it would also be a good way of jump starting a program with someone for Mania (perhaps even with Undertaker, should he decide to make a surprise appearance in the Rumble, too) but Ryback/Lesnar isn't that bad. This could actually be the start of Ryback becoming relevant again after being booked all to hell. If Heyman has Lesnar return and demolish Ryback, that could awaken the beast within him and make him become more motivated and dominant than ever. Have him sell a massive beat down from Lesnar soon that puts him on the shelf for about a month, then have him return and start wrecking havoc in his desire to get revenge on Heyman. Then book him to put up a hell of a fight against Lesnar at the Rumble so that even when he loses, he will hopefully gain a lot of credibility and some of his aura back. Then you can almost start on a fresh page with him from there.

Odd they would want to turn Ryback face again before Wrestlemania though if they want him to face Goldberg. There'll be massive Goldberg chants come WM time, and I assumed the booking of the match would pretty much be Ryback challenging Goldberg as a heel and then having Goldberg return to squash him. I'm not sure about that match as it relates to Ryback being a babyface.
