Ryback has a bone to pick with a lot of things, and he doesn’t appreciate stories going around about him that are not true. Thankfully, The Big Guy was able to clear up another one of those stories going around about him.

Ryback has already debunked stories of him having heat while he was with WWE. The truth is, that as Ryback saw it, everyone liked him, and he still has many friends he made while in the company.

During a recent YouTube video, Ryback addressed a story that Brock Lesnar gave him a black eye during a backstage locker room altercation. The Big Guy called out Michael Hayes for floating that story to Dave Meltzer, and he claims it’s not true at all.

>“In 2012, someone in WWE leaked out that Brock Lesnar had attacked me in a backstage alteration and gave me a black eye. I’m here today to say that it was an absolute lie, and we found out later that it was ‘doot-doot-doot-doot-doot-doot-doot-doot-doot’ Michael PS Hayes, who told Dave Meltzer that lie, with WWE trying to hurt my creditability for their fan base, but failed they miserably.”

Ryback then played the actual video from WWE of what happened to cause that black eye. It had nothing to do with anything that took place backstage, because it happened in the ring instead.

It’s nice that Ryback was able to clear this rumor up. You can’t believe everything you hear, but it adds a lot of clarity and validity when we hear it from Ryback himself.

Ryback is healing up and seemingly eager to step back in the ring. He is waiting on his doctor to give him that precious green light, so he can make his way back to the ring. Only time will tell where he wrestles again, but odds are it won’t be in WWE.
