On the day that Ryback walked out of WWE at their television tapings, many rumors circulated that he had a confrontation with Vince McMahon.

On May 2, 2016, Ryan Reeves left the WWE locker room for what appears to have been the final time, at least for now, but no blow-up with Vince ever occurred. In fact, Ryan claims he didn't even want to see Vince because he was tired of being lied to (more on that later).

Apparently, Ryback had seen the plans for the 5/2 edition of Monday Night RAW and believed that he was being phased out with WWE "treating him like sh*t", essentially killing his diminishing value. That was something he could not take.

Instead, Ryback told WWE Talent Relations Executive, Mark Carrano, that he was going home. To be more specific Ryback said he told Carrano, "Take me off this f***in' show. I'm done". Reeves continued, "You're going to fix my nose and my ear... and we're done", knowing that his new demands already received by WWE would be the last straw.

It was and Ryback left. Three months later the two sides officially parted ways.
