...being booked? Like, a few weeks ago he wasn't even on Superstars. Now he's on Raw/Smackdown/Main Event pretty frequently, and he's not even jobbing as badly as badly as he used to. He is almost getting Kofi jobs where he does well until he loses in a predictable way. Like, he wasn't squashed by either Del Rio on raw neither by Axel on main event. Like, again. Not complaining. Huge fan of the guy.
Just, what changed? Feels kind of sudden for him to start being booked.
(Dear HHH, if you can read this, do not stop booking Ryder. Please.)

I'm assuming it's just a choice they made based on the fact that they're really short on low card faces they can use for filler that the crowd will get at least reasonably invested in.

I'm not sure, but I'm enjoying seeing him again.

Most likely they're short on Midcard faces. Personally I'd rather have Ryder not on tv at all.

I think it's because he stuck out a difficult rough patch, still connects with the crowd and, even as someone who has enjoyed his work for a while, has improved considerably with a more varied style in the ring.
Purely speculation on my part, but I think it could be any of those things.

His passive aggressive tweets paid off. Oh my god. It all makes sense now. He's the anti-Del Rio. His aggressiveness is passive, and thus needed to be stored for a long time until he could finally unleash it upon his competitors. I can see Cole saying it now: "This is a new, aggressive Zack Ryder!"

As long as he's being booked to job, and not allowed anywhere near a title (or, God forbid, a mic) then that's OK.

Going into kayfabe reasoning:
-HHH is evil, but he knows what's best for DIZ BIZNESS. -Daniel Bryan had a lot of the faces take his side against HHH, so he needs to find ways to divide and conquer. -HHH knows firsthand all Zack Ryder really ever wants is to get booked.
Solution: HHH just books Ryder in matches on Raw or Smackdown because he knows Ryder will be sated by that and not be so willing to take Daniel Bryan's side.

They're really short on midcard faces, especially ones that get some kind of crowd response. With all the injuries, there are more midcard heels than faces around.

Kane is no longer on the roster so Ryder is finally coming out of hiding.

Crazy how HHH is involved in the biggest angle on TV right now and Zack Ryder gets actual TV matches.

Kane is no longer on the roster so Ryder is finally coming out of hiding. I choose to believe that's the kayfabe reason. That's also the reason Ryder didn't help Bryan earlier. "...Okay what if I run out to help him...and then Kane shows up to help him too? Like, bro. That would be totally awkward."

Last time Kane was out, Ryder had the push of his life and won the U.S belt, then Kane came back and Ryder turned back into a jobber and then into hiding.

When Daniel Bryan was being attacked and Ryder saw that the rest of his jobber and midcard chums were to run out to Bryans rescue Ryder hatched a devious ploy to get himself back on television.
Ryder wasn't actually booked to appear in the angle but he was so fed up of no one corporate noticing him that he ran out with everyone else because he wanted to be on TV so much and didn't give a f*** if he got fired for going out when he was not booked.
he thought he could use the minor heat internet newz sources would supply him with over the incident and take himself to TNA in 90 days where he was sure to get a world title run as Jack Neider.
When watching the job squad come and save Bryan at first Triple H and Vince were bemused as they had no idea who Ryder was or that he even worked for WWE but they both figured that the other one had hired him and put him in this angle because they saw something in him. And Ryder then started getting booked because of this.
Now Ryder prays to God every day that Trips or Vince don't work out their oversight and that he has no talent or charisma.
