Ryback Teases WWE Return With Cryptic Message: ‘Maybe It’s Finally Time’

Ryback WWE return speculation has intensified after the former United States Champion shared a lengthy message alongside a workout video, hinting that his wrestling career may not be finished after all.

The 44-year-old former WWE star reflected on the physical challenges that forced him to slow down following his departure from WWE. However, his latest comments suggest that he has continued preparing himself and could now be considering a return to the ring.

Ryback Teases Possible Wrestling Comeback

Ryback used an engine metaphor to describe his decision to remain physically prepared despite stepping away from professional wrestling. He explained that he was advised years ago to shut down his career, but he never completely stopped testing himself.

“Many years ago, I was told to shut the engine off. But I knew something they didn’t. If I shut that engine completely off, there was no guarantee it would ever restart at the level it once ran,” Ryback wrote.

He added that he continued to keep himself ready while avoiding pushing his body beyond its limits. His message ended with an unmistakable tease that he could soon find out what happens when he fully commits again.

“Maybe it’s finally time we find out what happens when The Big Guy puts the pedal to the metal again. And that’s the last bite. Feed Me More!” Ryback wrote.

When Was Ryback’s Last WWE Match?

Ryback’s last WWE match took place in 2016, when he lost the United States Championship to Kalisto. Since then, The Big Guy has remained away from WWE competition, making his latest comments particularly interesting for wrestling fans.

There is currently no confirmation that Ryback has agreed to return to WWE or another wrestling promotion. However, his latest workout video and message have naturally created speculation about a possible comeback.

Ryback Clears the Air on CM Punk Feud

Ryback also addressed his long-running issues with CM Punk. The two wrestlers had backstage problems during their time together in WWE, and their history has remained a topic of discussion among wrestling fans.

However, Ryback recently made it clear that he no longer holds on to hatred toward Punk. He explained that both men have already said what they wanted to say about their past disagreement.

“No, I don’t hold on to any hate with that name. I’ve said what I needed to say on it. He said what he said on it. It doesn’t make sense to hold on to that forever. Now, that doesn’t mean that we’ll ever be friends,” Ryback said.

Ryback Praises CM Punk’s Current WWE Run

While Ryback does not appear interested in rekindling his personal issues with CM Punk, he has acknowledged what Punk is currently doing in WWE.

The comments suggest that the former United States Champion has moved on from their past problems and can appreciate Punk’s work without needing to rebuild their personal relationship.

Will Ryback Really Return to WWE?

Ryback’s latest message has certainly opened the door to comeback speculation, but there is no official confirmation of a WWE return at this stage. His last WWE appearance came nearly a decade ago, making any potential comeback a major development.

For now, fans will have to wait and see whether The Big Guy’s cryptic message is simply motivation for his personal fitness journey or a genuine indication that he is preparing to step back into the wrestling ring.
