A relative unknown, Mason Ryan made his debut as the enforcer of the new Nexus in January of 2011. He was green to say the least. Ryan wasn't a great worker and he couldn't cut a promo to save his life but he had an undeniable presence. He looked like a modern day Batista, which might have ended up contributing to his downfall. The marks constantly commenting on his resemblance to 'The Animal' had to upset the WWE upper brass. They didn't want Batista 2.0, they wanted a new breed of beast. These days Ryan is making a name for himself in NXT, destroying the competition. A sure sign of his future reemergence, Mason Ryan has the potential to be a major star in the WWE. With rumors swirling that he could be the newest member of The Shield, we could see Mason Ryan replace Roman Reigns as the newest enforcer of one of the WWE's hottest factions. At 31, now's the time to see if Mason Ryan can carry his own weight under the bright lights of the WWE.

Also if you have and or ever thought about wearing a visor and or fanny pack, I'm afraid we can't be friends.
