It’s no secret that WWE is reluctant to mention Ryback in their programming, but it doesn’t seem like AEW feels the same way about the Las Vegas native. MJF name-dropped the former Intercontinental Champion during a promo at an AEW Dynamite show in Dallas and the blow has managed to gain some attention online. The name drop happened when MJF was criticizing CM Punk’s recent run with the company, claiming he thought it made him the new Ryback. The crowd in attendance was noticeably shocked by the name-drop, but it fit MJF perfectly and served as a pretty viral moment.
Ryback actually took the comment in stride and seemingly used the opportunity to take another stab at his longtime rival CM Punk.
“Thanks for the shoutout @The_MJF,” he wrote. “Now you have your big chance at being an enhancement talent working with an underwhelming opponent. #FeedMeMore.”

What makes this such an interesting question is the fact that both Wallace and Busch can be hot-headed at times. What’s going to happen when one has to pass the other for a victory?
He s definitely ahead of me. Been able to learn from that and play catch up as quickly as I can. He s going to push me to be better. We are teammates, but we are competitors too,” Wallace told Bob Pockrass about his new teammate for the 2022 season.

Las Vegas Nevada was announced as the host city for the 2024 Super Bowl last week, marking the third big NFL event to come to Sin City since the Raiders made it their new home in 2020. The first of these big events will the 2022 Pro Bowl, which will be hosted at Allegiant Stadium, followed by the NFL draft later next year. Not only is this going to be big for the economy, but it also looks like this is the beginning of a very lucrative relationship with the NFL.
“They’ve obviously accepted legalized gambling, but it also says an awful lot about Las Vegas,” Nevada Gov. Steve Sisolak said.”I mean, Las Vegas is not only the entertainment capital, it’s the sports capital of the world… I mean, there’s no better venue to hold the Super Bowl than Allegiant Stadium. And hopefully, it will be held here more than once.”
