7 Things That Ruined Ryback's WWE Push

7. Repetitive Matches

From the beginning, Ryback was being pushed as an unstoppable monster, destroying jobber after jobber with only a handful of moves. While it was nice to see a new star being dominant against his opponents, it soon got repetitive. In Ryback€™s case, he was presented as a powerhouse who didn€™t need a lot of different moves to take down his opponents; all he needed was his Meat Hook clothesline and his finisher, the €˜Shellshocked€™. However, this soon got very repetitive, as fans could soon predict what was going to happen before it happened. His matches soon became too generic and similar that it he started to get boring. Even when he was put against two or three opponents, and managed to lift all of them onto his shoulders, it seemed like people knew he was going to win. He was squashing weak opponents for months, rarely doing anything new. It really hurt his momentum because they kept him in that same role for so long instead of giving him a major rivalry. Take WWE€™s current monster Rusev, for example. He has been undefeated since officially debuting the night after WrestleMania XXX. Sure, his matches are also very repetitive in that the endings are almost always the same, but at least he has been put in interesting feuds, and has even closed the show with his and Lana€™s promos against the United States. This is what they should€™ve done with Ryback: have him squash enemies for a few months, and then give him something else to do: a real mid-card feud would€™ve helped him a lot more than being suddenly thrust into the main event match for the WWE title (more on that later).
