>In a surprising move, a controversial former WWE star’s name was mentioned on SmackDown.>Ever since Triple H took over, commentators have been given a little more freedom during their announcements. Under the new regime, we have seen the announcers name-drop other promotions such as New Japan or even make references to stars’ older gimmicks.>One such reference was suddenly dropped during tonight’s episode of SmackDown when Michael Cole mentioned a controversial star’s name, much to everyone’s surprise, that being Ryback.>On tonight’s episode of SmackDown, Drew McIntyre and Cody Rhodes had a confrontation that saw The Scottish Warrior burn a sentimental photo of The American Nightmare and his father, Dusty Rhodes. Along with that, McIntyre had also laid out the three stipulations for their Three Stages of Hell match that takes place next week on SmackDown in Berlin.>Also in the main event, Damian Priest took on Aleister Black in an Ambulance match. While Priest was making his way to the ring, Michael Cole mentioned that the final stipulation during the Three Stages of Hell match between John Cena and Ryback at Payback 2013 was an Ambulance match.>This was the first time in years that Ryback’s name has been mentioned. The former Intercontinental Champion departed from the WWE in August 2016, citing unequal wages and contract disagreements as the reason for his exit. He then wrestled on the independent scene from 2016-18 and has not stepped into the squared circle ever since.>What makes the mention of Ryback’s name surprising is that they chose to do it, being well aware of the many unhinged rants he has been making about the Stamford-based promotion and personnel involved in it. Though this cannot be taken as a sign of The Big Guy making a return to the WWE, it is good to know that they are willing to accept certain undeniable aspects of their history.https://itrwrestling.com/news/controversial-former-wwe-star-suddenly-mentioned-on-smackdown/

>>19609440Botching in a Rybotch thread is ok. Dust yourself off and no sell it.
>>19609454Holy Fuck!!!
>>19609454WWE was the draw. When he does TikTok he’s lucky to get 100 viewers lol
>>19609449They should face off in an iron man tables match.
>>19609605AT 3.6 million followers he's one of the biggest wrestlers on TikTok
You all laughed but the Big Guy was biding his time. Cena's time is up but Ryback's is now.
>>19609630if he has 3.6 million followers but gets 100 on a video like that other guy said, he has fake and bought followers.he gets maybe 10 thousand on his recent youtube videos of him eating fast food. i don't think that sounds good enough to make real money from, but what do i know.
>>19609866He lied. He gets tens of thousands on all videos and hundreds of thousands on the big ones.
https://www.tiktok.com/@ryback/liveRyGAWD is streaming right now!
>>19609866It's a known fact that Elon Musk illegally blocks his streams and posts from getting views
>>19609889I was talking about when he goes live on TikTok. He gets about 100 viewers. He uses bots on all his accounts
>>19609454FEEEEEED MEEEEEMOOORE
>>19609866Shut the fuck up, Chase
>>19609421>This was the first time in years that Ryback’s name has been mentioned.It's not thoughever. The Big Guy was mentioned about twice last year in reference to past matches that had some relevance to current events. It's probably not much more of a bigger deal than WWE commentators being allowed to mention guys who've gone to AEW.>>19609422They shouldn't have turned The Big Guy heel in 2013 but I can't deny this was cool as hell.
>>19609421Rygoat
>>19610923He had 600 today
>>19609481Name one single RyCHAD botch that didn't involve Punk's sandbagging ass

>>19609421>Controversial*Forgotten and irrelevant
>>19615101That's fake news. Big Guy is massively beloved by almost all fans, with a small contingent passionately hating him. He's anything but irrelevant.
>>19609454FEEEEEED MEEEEEEMOOOOORESAAAARRRRSSSS

>>19609440They're called "meme arrows."
>>19609421Ryback is proof that manifestation works and the world of Caesar means nothing.
