Ryback's Push

WWE is currently committed to taking the Ryback push "one day at a time" and not rushing into hot-shotting him to the top due to the limited opponents there that he can beat.

Despite Barry Ryte, who was one of Ryback's squash victims, recently claiming that he is "extremely careful and cautious" in the ring, many wrestlers remain apprehensive about working with him. Some wrestlers actually cringe backstage while watching him wrestle prelims on the monitors during TV tapings.
