Ryback, often hyped as the next big thing in WWE, instead became a prime example of wasted potential and poor execution. His in-ring style was a disastrous combination of botched moves and a complete lack of psychology, endangering both his opponents and himself. Ryback's mic skills were abysmal; he lacked charisma and failed to connect with audiences, often coming off as awkward and uninspired. Despite his muscular build, he was stiff in the ring, unable to deliver a convincing performance, and relied solely on repetitive power moves that quickly became monotonous.
His push to the main event scene was not only premature but also misguided, as it exposed his glaring weaknesses rather than showcasing any strengths. WWE's attempt to position him as a top star backfired, with fans rejecting him due to his inability to carry a match or a storyline effectively. His tenure in WWE was marred by failed gimmicks, forgettable feuds, and a general sense of disappointment. In a roster filled with talented individuals, Ryback stood out for all the wrong reasons—proving that brute force alone cannot substitute for talent, charisma, or wrestling acumen.
