Former WWE Superstar Ryback has always kept tabs on his former company since his exit in 2016. He has been incredibly vocal about his criticisms of WWE, often targeting its management and creative decisions. In his latest revelation, Ryback has accused Triple H of altering the outcome of one of his matches to undermine him, adding more fuel to his ongoing criticism of WWE.
Speaking on a recent episode of The Ryback Show, the former Intercontinental Champion detailed an incident where he was originally slated to secure a victory in a six-man tag team match against The Wyatt Family. According to Ryback, Triple H used his influence to change the script, ensuring that Ryback would instead be “destroyed” in the match.
Ryback recounted his experience, providing an insider’s perspective on Triple H’s behavior. He described a segment involving himself and The Wyatts leading up to the Payback pay-per-view, where he teamed with Kane and Big Show. Initially, Vince McMahon planned for Ryback to win against The Wyatts in a six-man tag match on SmackDown.
“Hunter’s tough. I’m telling you I’ve experienced this. I’m just giving you insight into what I know. I know the monster that is Triple H, of how he is. There was a segment with me and The Wyatts where, this was before the Payback pay-per-view with me, Kane, and Big Show, where I eventually went over because Vince was there. I was supposed to go over The Wyatts. It was a six-man tag match on SmackDown,” Ryback stated.
According to Ryback, the situation changed when Vince McMahon was absent from SmackDown. The night before the match, he was informed by the creative team that he would be winning against Bray Wyatt or another member of The Wyatts. However, when he arrived at the show and found out that Vince McMahon was not present, Ryback claimed that Triple H modified the plan, resulting in Ryback getting dominated by The Wyatts.
“Vince was not at SmackDown. I was told the night before by creative, by the writers. Blah blah blah blah blah, you’re going over on so and so on Bray [Wyatt] or whoever it was at the time with that leading up to all this. I get to the show, Vince isn’t there. Hunter had it changed to me getting destroyed by The Wyatts just to show like this is what he does,” Ryback recounted.
Ryback’s accusations suggest that Triple H had a personal vendetta against him, using his influence to change match outcomes to ensure Ryback’s character was buried. This isn’t the first time Ryback has made such claims. He previously stated that TKO Group Holdings, WWE’s parent company, might fire Triple H and other executives in light of Vince McMahon’s sexual trafficking lawsuit. Despite these assertions, Ryback continues to vocalize his grievances against Triple H, indicating that these accusations are unlikely to stop anytime soon.
This recent accusation adds another layer to Ryback’s long history of criticisms towards WWE and its executives. Whether these claims hold any truth remains a topic of debate among wrestling fans and insiders alike.
