Future Hall of Famer Zack Ryder...

[Cronant]

Cena hyped up his partner for tonight with this among other various accolades.

Even though it was kinda joking how much difference does a year make huh? Thats still a pretty strong endorsement from the top guy. This might have been the best RAW ever for Ryder.

If you told me Ryder out of all people would get LOUD dueling chants aka Cena only both positive (Let's go Ryder, Woo Woo Woo), I'd have lold at those ideas. Let alone beeing in the mainevent tagteaming with Cena. Wasn't the guy supposed to join the "spring break" cleaning until he made his show? Now he's a top merch seller.

He got his shot and the fans have received him very well. The sky is the limit for him at this point.

He's winning the rumble this year, Punk-Ryder for the tile at mania

It's hard to say who will be a HOF in 10-15 years

[Brother Nero....Wolfe]

Ryder is only 26, so it's more like 20-25 years. Man has got his whole career ahead of him.

Ecstatic for Zack. He worked his ass off just to get a shot, he got one, and he is RUNNING with that ball. A damn feel good story.

I think Zack Ryder's technically the #4 face on Raw at this point.

All he needs is an endorsement from The Rock, and I think it's safe to say the mantle of People's Champion has been passed on.

This would be beyond amazing if it happened next week.

[J.O.B. Squad]

I am glad Zack is getting more tv time and more over now with crowds.

[El Dandy]

He really needs to change his entrance theme though, it really is a terrible "boy band" like tune. Who knew that a comic relief wrestler would be main eventing RAWs...

[Oh Cry Me a Screwball]

In my opinion, he does need to transition his character a bit. The lovable loser bit worked fine for him when he was on Superstars every week, but in order for him to become a credible threat, there does need to be some character progression, and I do think he needs a breakout performance in the ring as well. Hopefully, he and Ziggler can put on a great match when the US title is on the line again.

That being said, getting here was a major accomplishment to begin with. I remember being astonished when he showed up on RAW out of the blue just to recite his catchphrase to the Nexus.

I smell pointless heel turn....

Probably 6th, you have Cena, Orton, Punk, Kelly, Mysterio (when/if he returns). And even then, you could make a claim for HHH counting too. Top 10 is still likely, which is insane compared to just 6 months ago.
