Why Ryback?

[Dolph'sZiggler]

Nothing they did could have ended the show on a more anticlimactic note than Ryback. I don't know any simpler terms to put it in. Had DB just stood in the ring for 10 minutes after beating Cesaro chanting 'Yes' it would have been an improvement.

not to mention it set up a Ryback/Cena match to ME next week. Simply dreadful

It's frustrating to watch because everywhere else it's looking like WWE's finally turned the corner. We're seeing guys like Bryan and Ziggler being pushed all the right ways for all the right reasons, getting some depth to their characters that most babyfaces don't and going the extra mile to please the internet fans, who then spread that to the casuals as the more hardcore fanbase are more likely to talk about/tweet/discuss the great characters and get the casuals behind them too. WWE's aware of what they're doing with these characters and the fans are acting accordingly.

Then there's Ryback. WWE just seems blind to the fact that this guy is damaged like crazy. He's not "Beezlebub" or "Lucifer Incarnate" or whatever that stupid thing he said was, he's not a threat, he's not even a monster, he's not a loner anymore, he's not a tough guy, it's your stupid booking that's caused this so stop believing that we didn't see what you put on your own show.

He's run through so many gimmicks in less than a year lmao.

I thought bringing out the Big Show as the last opponent would have been a better and surprising way of him returning to Raw (especially since he has a lot more credibility than Ryback at the moment) but meh. Funny how they advertise him for Raw and he mysteriously gets 'injured'? (I know they likely want him to return as a baby face but I prefer him as a heel.)

Anyway, I get the logic of Ryback coming out last, making Bryan go through the strongest and most built guy yet to end his series of matches for the night. I'm surprised next week is a Tables match though, Cena already beat Ryback in one at Payback lol. It was said that the company was thinking about doing Ryback/Cena again at MITB because they wanted Cena to score a pin fall victory over Ryback at some point but they didn't go with that. Next week would have been the chance for that.

If he remains getting involved in this feud, I get the feeling that Ryback could end up interfering and costing Cena the belt at Summerslam (similar to Edge costing Cena the belt at ONS 2006) and we'll get Cena/Ryback in a non-title feud post Summerslam while Bryan and Orton tangle with each other one on one. It could be there that Cena scores the pin fall victory over Ryback if the company really does still care about that, and then it all leads to a triple threat HIAC match between Bryan/Orton/Cena at the HIAC PPV, which would be awesome.

At least we'd be guaranteed that Bryan would headline at least two PPVs as champion above Cena but I don't like interference of any kind leading to Bryan winning the title. These are all just predictions, though.

I really am lost with where Ryback is going now is he being made to play a bully? my god Ryback totally sucks WWE have destroyed his character that was so over with the fans in the feed me more gimmick this is just car crash tv watching his character fail so much

 

[Leo C]

Ugh, I raged. I used to be a Ryback fan (feel like I always say this when talking about Ryback but still) but after his crap booking I'm really not anymore. I think it sucks how DB didn't get the clean win over Ryback. Ryback has been crapped on for so long, lost to everyone, beat Jericho (who puts everyone over at this point) barely with a roll up and now he's there putting Bryan through tables? Funny how they bury the guy every chance they have and make him look strong vs the guy who's challenging for the belt soon. Although I will be alright with this if in the near future (was going to say next week but we have Cena/Ryback ew) Bryan beats Ryback clean. Not after wrestling for 20 minutes but just on a singles match. As far as Ryback getting involved in this feud goes this also feels useless and he should've been done with Cena at Payback, no idea why they're having that match next week.

I think it's because Ryback's a very powerful man, but why would you want muscles and power if you're going to lose to guys like Cena or Miz. He stopped the match against The Miz... That was pathetic. His knee wasn't ok, but why quitting a match? He looks pathetic. Damn, he was a part of the Nexus and now he's that stupid hungry try of a wrestler.

 

[Snowman1]

Just actually watched the segment (probably should have before commenting, haha) and saw the spoilers, and am actually happy they put Ryback in this spot.
(Well, ignoring Ryback's stupid botch. They didn't know that was coming, and really... you're that muscular and you can't catch a guy like Bryan right? Dafuq)

The feeling that I got after the match was that he couldn't put away Daniel Bryan after Bryan wrestled for 40 minutes. He hit big move after big move, and then a (kayfabe) gassed Bryan couldn't stay down. So then he got really frustrated and just threw the dude through a table. So Bryan came out smelling like a rose after this match, and Ryback looked like an idiot for costing himself the match for no reason + shit for not being able to beat a lil' dude after wrestling for 40 minutes even though he's "such a big bully." (What is that, Ryback's 10th ruined gimmick?)

So if the point of this was to make Bryan look awesome at the expense of a monster looking like complete shit, they couldn't have made a better choice!

 

[Dolph'sZiggler]

They could have made a better choice... not have a Blue ass DQ finish..

Could have just made him tap, but if they have to put Ryback on TV, may as well enjoy him looking like a complete dumbass in the process.

Like WWE has to try to make that fuckhead look like a dumbass.

 

[BrockLesnarFanForLife]

That spot where Ryback was setting up the table and then when Daniel went to do that move Ryback just sort of turned away and Daniel could of seriously hurt himself from where the table was and how he landed. I really think Ryback is a goner hes not gonna get any pushes and will just job

 

[CrazyJ Cena]

Sheesh! Ryback . Ryback and Ryback.I hate this guy!

 

[Saylor]

It only made sense to bring Ryback out, since Big Show was still injured.

 

[CFCrusader]

Ryback sucks, the RAW when he came out on the ambulance with a new look vs Cena, I thought he was gonna be better. He was better than the old Ryback. But he still sucks. He'll forever be remembered for "FEED ME MORE", "RYBACK RULES" and for killing the Job Squad. :
