10 Precise Moments When WWE PG Era Careers Ended

10. Ryback

There was a time when man mountain Ryback seemed destined to become World Champ. After all, his VASCULARITY would've appealed to Vinnie Mac, and the dude did get some solid reactions from live crowds whether he was heel or babyface. Things did not end well though.

Like, at all.

Above, you'll see Ryback stumbling backstage after losing a United States Title bout to Kalisto on the Payback 2016 Kickoff show. That was 1 May, and Ryback was sent home the next night before Raw even aired. He never appeared for the company again before officially departing on 8 August and slagging off his old employer to anybody who'd listen.

WWE's cameras didn't linger too long on ol' Skip Sheffield before moving on with the Kickoff. Their concern was hyping that evening's pay-per-view, not shooting their clearly-frustrated worker as he glared a hole through a US Champ creative barely even cared about in the first place.
