On Friday, former WWE Intercontinental Champion Ryback officially announced that he and the WWE are done conducting business together. Ryback, real name Ryan Reeves, made a video post on his Instagram that seems to confirm the inevitable, while also announcing his future plans.
In the Instagram video clip, he says, “The Big Guy Ryback would like to wish WWE the best in their future endeavors.” The “future endeavors” bit are usually the infamous words that the company uses when they’ve released one of their talents. It seems Ryback has issued his own release following a previous contractual dispute. Back in May he had been sent home from a live WWE RAW event in St. Louis due to that and hadn’t been featured much at all in WWE since then.
It’s not surprising at all that he is done working with the company, and many fans may not have really noticed him missing that much. He had become a bit stale in his recent character and wasn’t involved in any major feuds. Ryback previously was part of big feuds with John Cena and CM Punk over the WWE Championship. He also captured the WWE Intercontinental Championship at one time for his only title reign in the WWE.
Reeves also announced that on Monday, his website FeedMeMore.com will go live. It will feature a clothing line, with Reeves also announcing his motivational book and supplement line will also be coming soon.
He goes on to say he’ll continue wrestling a full-time schedule and gives booking info for those who want to contact him. One has to wonder if he might show up in the TNA in the near future as many other WWE stars that have parted ways with the WWE have gone on to find future success with the competing pro wrestling company.
