Ryback has been very outspoken about WWE after his departure in 2016. There has been much controversy regarding the Ryback name. In a series of tweets ryback says:
“Over 5 months ago @wwe legal reached out to propose a settlement, as they’re going to lose the RYBACK TM. They want past rights and for me to sign a NDA. They’ve repeatedly tried telling me to stop talking about @VinceMcMahon and the truth with @wwe. You must right all wrongs.”
Ryback also added that, “The one thing people need to understand is they threatened my job in 2012 with a multi million dollar malpractice suit I had for my ankle injury. They told me if I dropped it they would take care of me and all would be forgotten from the past. I trusted them and they lied.”
I should note that the tweets above are Ryback’s statements and the talks about the settlement have not been confirmed by WWE
