Ryback’s run with WWE is officially over for right now. The Big Guy recently wished the company the best in their future endeavors and he also said that he plans on wrestling a full schedule going forward.
According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Ryback, who will be known as The Big Guy from now on, is charging $4,500 for indie appearances in the United States.
Some promoters are receiving a lower price point if they book The Big Guy for multiple dates, while other promoters are being charged $5,000 if they don’t have a good reputation.
The former Ryback is also reportedly in talks with New Japan Pro Wrestling. It’s said that both sides are interested in working together if they can agree on a price and the right number of dates.
As noted, Ryback was recently booked for the WrestlePro events in October in New York and New Jersey. He was also recently announced for the NEW event on August 25th along with WrestleCade and MCW events in November.
