Ryback has started a new podcast titled: Conversations with the Big Guy. During the debut episode he had some interesting comments about who he was supposed to face at Wrestlemania 32. He also talks about how much money he walked away from when he left the WWE. Below are some of the highlights!
Ryback says that his original opponent for Wrestlemania 32 was supposed to be AJ Styles.
“My opponent was suppose to be AJ Styles at Wrestlemania. Which Vince told me I am going to squash that little twerp… Which I didn’t really foresee that happening with everything the way he was brought in” (Source: Conversations With The Big Guy).
He says that things changed and his opponent was changed to Kalisto and it went on the pre-show. He mentions that he was lied to a lot by Vince McMahon and WWE brass during his time with the company. The match against Styles changing to Kalisto is only one example.
He also revealed that he walked away from a 3 year, $1.5 million contract from the WWE. As we know now, he has left the company and has chosen to work independently.

Can’t say I am upset he didn’t squash AJ at Wrestlemania lol. That would have been the worst decision of all time.

How do we know that Ryback isn’t the one lying?

Ryback is a mark for himself. People can say what they will about CM Punk, but his thoughts on Ryback are dead on.
