Bad booking can be the burden of just about anyone, I hope if they do decide to go through with these plans that they do it very smoothly and think carefully about how they want to proceed with booking of Ryback so they don't rush it and make it look like an ugly build up to the main event scene.
Build up nothing. He should just come out of nowhere and defeat Rusev in an expected result on a Raw or Smackdown. They have a rematch after that at a PPV, he wins again and then he moves on. Done. No doing it for America or to 'shut Rusev up' - NO. Ryback comes out, they 'feed' Rusev to him and he wins. The End. Thats what I want to see (so it won't happen, but hey - I can dream).

Oh I meant the general build up to him in the main event scene, I have no doubt they can successfully build him and Rusev up to a solid booking.

Ryback is > Rusev in every way imaginable. If the guy wasn't anti American he'd get no reaction at all. So bland in and out of the ring. I don't, and have never seen anything in him. Let da big guy put him down.

Hopefully they start the build up tonight, although maybe not.. perhaps they wanna let Rusev get the strap from Sheamus first and then proceed with Ryback's push.. I'm thinking Sheamus vs Rusev at SS and then Ryback vs Rusev at TLC.

No, it's definitely Rusev vs Sheamus for the US title at SS. Hopefully Sheamus' upcoming loss by Rusev will set up an overdue heel turn. Sheamus is a good wrestler, but pretty damn stale character-wise.

Yes, I'd definitely leave Ryback vs Rusev for TLC. So, with Rusev winning the title from Sheamus, which is highly likely to happen at SS... I'm interested in seeing if they're gonna turn it into European/Russian title or Rusev's gonna come out with the US title and brag and say something like 'I'm your country's champion now. Bow down to me or I will crush you.'

Would make sense for Sheamus to turn heel seeing as Randy is turning face it seems, when one person changes a faction another person should to just to "fill the void" or so to speak IMO.

I don't think they'll make it the Euro Title, but the last part of what you said sounds very likely, and I could definitely see Ryback being the next one to answer that call.

Maybe (read: I hope) this means they will bring up new NXT people to 'fill the void' instead

Sheamus' heel turn needs to happen, just like you said, bro... It would make sense, knowing that Orton's face turn is just around the corner, as well. (prolly at SS)

Da Big Guy crushing Rusev and becoming the US champion? That seems alright in my book... Followed by a slow build-up to ME scene.

The Ascension, possibly. Like I've said before, I see them interfering in Ambrose vs Wyatt match, screwing Ambrose out of the victory. We'll see, though.

Sami Zayn should come up soon, as well... Since he said something like if he doesn't beat Neville for the NXT title, he'll quit WWE... I'm interested in seeing how they'll pull that one off.

Definitely a very slow build up to the ME scene IMO, I like Ryback and don't really wanna see him rushed like that.

I wonder if they will let Ryback be 'himself' on the mic now? I haven't seen him do any segments or anything since his return. He's proved he can get fans with his witty tweets and videos and stuff.

I agree. They'd better not fuck it up like the last time!

Here's to hoping, bro. WWE loves to micromanage everything. So, once again, here's to hoping they let Ryback be himself.

This rumor is designed to throw everyone off the Kurt Angle scent.
