5. Has CM Punks Podcast Had An Effect On Ryback?
In CM Punks controversial podcast with his friend Colt Cabana last year, he had a lot to say about Ryback, all of it negative. Punk stated that working with Ryback took twenty years off my life and alleged that he was clumsy, heavy handed and kept hurting him. Punk alleged that Ryback kept messing things up to the point that he asked him if he was doing it on purpose. Ryback denied all Punks allegations regarding his work and his adherence to the Wellness policy and continues to wrestle in the WWE, so draw your own conclusions. However, it was noticeable during that six man tag (with three very large men on the opposite team) that Rybacks offence was a lot lighter than the Usos. His clotheslines, his slams, everything looked lighter than before. Have Punks comments had any bearing on Rybacks style of work, either consciously or subconsciously? Or was he just having an easy night?
