I bet Ryback was reading the internet and got all pissed at the people saying he's on steroids because just look at him so he ripped off his singlet and started tweeting pictures of his non-shrunken junk as proof that he's clean.

I wonder if he would be able to use the name Ryback if the left the WWE like MVP, because I believe he came up with name even before WWE. That may be, but legally the name is the property of WWE.

He did actually change his name from Ryback to Ryan Reeves. Quite strange to see his tweets disappear in conjunction with reverting to his real name (Ryback22 is his Twitter handle).

So that doesn't necessarily mean Ryback wouldn't take the name with him.

Ryback released? (NOT EVEN A SHRED OF POSSIBLE CONFIRMATION, REACT TO ME)

Well if he's not released, it's pretty strange behaviour and grounds for investigation. Why else would you randomly change your account name to your birth name that you don't use in WWE? He's followed by nearly a million users. So yeah. It's very weird.

I opened up this tab a few minutes ago and when I checked the URL I saw which almost gave me a heart attack since I love the guy. Glad to hear it's nothing but a bunch of bullpucky so far.

I doubt it, but at this point... I don't know, I wouldn't be that disappointed. Big fan of the guy but his career is just plain dead.

I have a question, who's considered the weaker link in the Ryback/Axel team?

Everyone should pay attention to these shortened thread titles. You'll see that the board will completely change the meaning of some threads by leaving out a couple words.

It bares mentioning, with no spoilers, that Ryback appears on Main Event this week. Guess could always wind up writing him out at the tapings this week, but it bares keeping in mind for the moment.

I feel like he deleted all of his tweets before Yeah, he just does that from time to time. That said, if he is gone (and I really doubt it) it would be one hell of a turnaround, to go from blowing-the-f***ing-roof-off over to canned inside of a year. It would also be one hell of a dropped ball on WWE's end.

This may have been a fever dream of mine, but I swear that Ryback once tweeted about reading The Secret.
