Paul Heyman Reveals Former Champion He Worked With That He Knew Wouldn’t Be A Star

Over the years Paul Heyman has worked with a lot of different names, and he’s helped a lot of talents take their careers to the next level. There was a time when Ryback became a Paul Heyman Guy, but their alliance didn’t exactly lead to success for the former Intercontinental Champion.

During a recent virtual meet and greet with the Highspots Wrestling Network Paul Heyman was asked which talent he knew wouldn’t be a star, and he named Ryback.

“Ryback. Would you like to know why Ryback? Because he was a schmuck.”

In 2016 it was reported that Ryback was in a contract dispute with WWE, and in August of that same year it was announced that he and WWE had parted ways.

Ryback has since made some appearances on the independent scene, and has teased signing with another wrestling promotion, but has yet to do so.
