The Big Guy turned the tables on the company in saying farewell. Ryback Confirmed Earlier today that he & WWE have Officially parted ways TNA here he comes!
Ryback Teases Joining “Impact Zone” as “Ryborg”
Three weeks ago, the former WWE Intercontinental Champion was sent home after a contract dispute. Since then, he’s been negotiating with WWE over things like money, tour buses, and more.
Since he went home, there has been little news about the actual negotiations and a lot of the news has been on social media or Ryback’s comments on “equal pay in wrestling”. Based off some recent activity on social media, negotiations don’t seem to be going well per say.

As of this writing, Ryback hasn’t been released by the company, and he’s still under contract. In the time he’s been off the road, several WWE talents and workers have been released, including Damien Sandow, King Barrett, and Cody Rhodes as of last night.
There is no news if WWE will allow his current contract to expire with the company and then move on, but that seems to be the case as of right now.
With “The Big Guy” making jokes about appearing in the “Impact Zone” as “Ryborg”, it’s questionable is he’s just trying to be funny in a tense situation, or if it is a sign of things to come.
Ryback hasn't been on the WWE scene for quite a while, as the wrestler and company agreed to disagree on how he was being used.
The Big Guy has announced his exit from WWE. And he did it in style with a tongue-in-cheek promo.
Typically, when WWE sends a Superstar on their way, it wishes the person the best in their future endeavors.
That gave Ryback the idea to deliver a receipt on his way out.
Ryback sounds like he is going from WWE Superstar to superstar entrepreneur.
In addition to becoming available for a full wrestling schedule through independing bookings, he will also be launching a website -- feedmemore.com -- on Aug. 8, a clothing line, a supplement line and is writing a motivational book.
We wish Ryback the best in his future endeavors.
