Apparently there are rumors swirling around that Ryback is slated to end Rusev's undefeated streak.

http://www.inquisitr.com/1580121/ww...umored-to-be-ending-rusevs-undefeated-streak/
There is a rumor going around that Ryback could be ending Rusev’s undefeated streak. The Bulgarian Brute, fighting under the Russian banner, has been undefeated for months. He has taken out some of WWE’s “biggest” stars. It seems at this point, no one can beat him in a match.

Due to WWE wanting to push Ryback again, it appears that WWE will have Ryback go over Rusev in an effort to get The Big Guy some love from the WWE fans and hopefully push him back into main event status. Many are not fans of Rusev these days. People are annoyed with how his matches have ended, and most want to see him lose. This is not just an American thing; several fans across the world want to see him go down.

:happy: :win: I like both guys really, but Ryback getting that return babyface rub over Rusev would be great IMO. How about you guys? @Senhor Perfect - you must be happy to hear this. Hopefully it's actually true.

I'm perfectly fine with Ryback ending Rusev's streak. I don't really like Rusev, so it's cool. This could mean that Rusev's going over Sheamus for the US title, then? Alright.

Ryback will be back into the ME scene? That's cool, we're a bit thin of those... If they're gonna go with Ryback vs Lesnar at the Rumble, I'm all up for it!

If they're serious about building Ryback back up, then having him be the first to defeat Rusev would be a great way to start. I doubt it happens, though. It'll either be Cena at Wrestlemania or Reigns after.

I'm not really big on Rusev, but why would they feed him to Cena? You know he's prolly gonna get buried once he catches Cena-itis. It should either be Ryback or an up and coming main eventer Reigns. I'm not really big on Reigns either, but I'd like to think this kid can develop, so I'd rather have him beat Rusev. Anyone but Cena, really.

I'm still kind of surprised they have done so much with Rusev so far. What other NXT stars have been able to shine and rise in the ranks like him since the Shield and the Wyatts? Been a little while I think. Adam Rose - NOPE. Curtis Axel - NOPE. Xavier Woods - HAHAHA NOPE

What sense did it make to feed Bray Wyatt to Cena? They built Wyatt up with consecutive clean pinfall victories over Daniel Bryan and Roman Reigns at the Rumble and EC only to have Cena conquer him the following month at Wrestlemania. In their minds, Cena will probably need "redemption" if he's gonna put over Lesnar clean as a sheet again at the Rumble and having him beat Rusev is a way of doing that. Cena is the big supporter of the troops and you have to know for that reason alone that this feud will take place at some point. Plus, Cena is the ender of undefeated streaks - Muhammad Hassan, Great Khali, Umaga, Tensai, Bray Wyatt... the Undertaker's streak is the only large undefeated record that was spared, although even then they couldn't resist the urge of making it look like he had Lesnar beat at Night Of Champions...

I hate to sound like I'm supporting the idea because I'm not, I'm just speaking on what I see as the inevitable.

No, no. You are right on point, like always. Would be awesome if the inevitable 'SuperCena redemption' never commenced, though.

Here's to hoping that he will. Anyone but Cena is cool with me, really.
Yeah, I like Ryback too, I think he was absolutely butchered by bad booking after bad booking in his first run and starting over was indeed the best solution. Never hurts to, you know, build people towards the upper card and stuff.

Hopefully they don't fuck him up with bad booking this time around.

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.
