WUD DA HELL???

Ryback: I walked away from a 3 year, $1.5 million WWE deal

Reeves said that he had been lied to at many times in his career about booking and other opportunities. He claimed that Vince McMahon told him that he would be the number one heel in the company and have the title put on him if he listened to McMahon and read his promos as they were scripted. Reeves also claimed that he was supposed to face AJ Styles at WrestleMania 32, with McMahon telling him that he would "squash that little twerp."

That changed and Reeves would go on to face Kalisto on the WrestleMania 32 kickoff show. He said that he was set to sign a new contract but sent a revised offer to the company after not being happy about how he was handled.

On his last day at television, Reeves said he knew that WWE wasn't going to accept the revised offer and thought the booking of the show was intended to make him look bad before he left. He claimed he told Mark Carano to take him off television, but didn't talk to McMahon because he had been lied to too many times before.

You must not have been watching the WWE over the past 15 years. Ryback is probably lying about him being the one to do it but I'm actually surprised AJ didn't meet that fate.

Depends on the timeline. If he was told this in January I wouldn't doubt it. Obviously by the time Mania rolled around they were higher on AJ, then after the Reigns match at ER we started seeing the rumors about him being treated as one of the top guys in the company.

But there's no doubt in my mind AJ earned the respect he has in the company with his work week in and week out, but that before that they were absolutely gonna have him as a mid/upper midcard jobber as they probably expected the novelty of his debut to wear off and him not to impress the larger WWE audience.

Really Ryback is going to squash AJ the same AJ dirt sheets have been reporting Vince wish he signed earlier. The same AJ who they say is the most marketable out of all the new people on the roster

[NoMorePie]

That doesn't sound like at all.

That sounds exactly like some bullshyt Vince would do.

This phrase would hold more weight around here if we didn't throw it out there 34 times a day
