Ryback Told Vince McMahon That He’s The Guy To Replace John Cena

Ryback was recently a guest on the Steve Austin Show where he talked about his WWE career and more. During the podcast Ryback revealed that he once told Vince McMahon he’s the guy to replace John Cena.

“I told Vince this. I am here for the long haul. Like, I want to be my absolute best and my best is going to end up pretty damn good, at the end of this, but the key to that is staying healthy and longevity here. People are going to take themselves out, people get injured, and opportunities open up. And I’ve said from day one, I’ve told Vince this to his face, I am the guy that can replace John Cena and I’m not John Cena, I’m Ryback. But I’m the guy that can do that and I can sell tickets but I need to be healthy and I need to be here everyday for that to happen.”
