Why didn't Ryback have the "I'll eliminate Batista!" story?

Del Rio's role was insanely interchangeable.

I guess I'm wondering why "The Big Guy" wouldn't be the one out front saying "You want him back? But you already have ME!" and claiming he'd toss out Batista.

Without any hype at all, Ryback's staredown with Batista garnered more attention from the crowd than Del Rio's entire interaction with "The Animal."

Because they still haven't grasped that nothing, absolutely nothing, is going to make people care about Alberto ever again.

Granted, I'd say the same thing about Ryback, but at least he does get something of a consistent reaction, even if it's a pretty terrible one. And it'd actually make sense for him to take issue with Batista coming back.
