WWE: 10 Wrestlers Who Will Most Benefit From Andre The Giant Trophy Win
8. Ryback
It's obvious that at various points in the last couple of years, Ryback has been a guy that WWE management likes. They pushed him to the main event level in late 2012 and he wasn't able to win the WWE Title. Last year he finished second in the Royal Rumble match. He also had two PPV matches against John Cena when he was WWE Champion when they simply needed somebody to lose to Cena in major PPV matches. Ryback has been downgraded to the level of a tag team wrestler with Curtis Axel. He also had one of the shortest runs as a "Heyman Guy" in the history of wrestling. What's interesting about Ryback is that his heel character really does have potential. He seems to be more natural in that role as compared to the babyface side. If management still believes in Ryback and believes that he can be a top guy, the battle royal could be the right time to bring him back to prominence.
