Zack Ryder Hints At WWE Release?

No European tour for Ryder as speculation swirls on his WWE future.

Zack Ryder has hinted that his WWE status could be coming to an end. He posted a cryptic tweet on Saturday which simply stated "Sorry to my European Zack Pack...won't be making the tour this year...I'll let you know why in a few days when I have definite news." That certainly sounds ominous. Straight away the speculation has started to swirl that Ryder's WWE release is imminent. There's a chance that he himself has requested the release, hence why he'll say more in a few days. He is perhaps now waiting on WWE's response. If it was the other way around and WWE releasing him, then we'd probably have something instantly on wwe.com with a "future endeavours" message. The fact he isn't on the European Tour is a bad sign. The other possibility is that Ryder is injured. He posted a photo on Twitter on November 3rd that indicated he was heavily iced on his shoulder. This was following his loss to Rusev. It was thought that he was just selling the beating, but maybe he really was hurt. If that beating was the last of Ryder, it pretty much sums his career up. He was the definition of a WWE jobber. The company used him primarily for short matches in which the opponent would squash him. All relevancy and meaning of the Ryder character has been dead for years. They slightly got behind him during 2011, but gave up soon after. This is despite Ryder trying so hard to get over with his own social media buzz on things like his YouTube show. A career change could be a blessing in disguise. The WWE do not see him as an important talent.
