Ryback has experienced a career resurgence since returning from injury in late October; however, it didn't take long for him to make an enemy out of The Authority. Within weeks of making his comeback to WWE, he aligned with Team Cena, but only after he refused an offer from Team Authority to join their stable of behemoths. He has been feuding with members of The Authority since Survivor Series where his team emerged victorious over the villainous faction, defeating Kane at December's TLC pay-per-view. The Big Guy was the most vocal of the three talent "fired" at the hands of The Authority on the January 5 edition of Raw, even attempting to enter a WWE live event but being turned away by security (in storyline, of course) according to his Twitter. After being reinstated on Raw Reunion, he now sets his sights on competing in the Royal Rumble match; and though he has yet to win a world championship in his WWE career, he's never been closer to capturing the gold than he is right now. That said, don't think for a second that The Authority won't make it difficult for The Big Guy to win the Rumble. He isn't the strongest in-ring worker on this list, but he can do a lot of damage from the No. 1 spot; Roman Reigns' record-setting number of eliminations could very well be in jeopardy as a result.
