No doubt in my mind AJ wasn't post to get this over
Them seeing his in ring work day in day out I think really impressed Vince and company
His promo skills have been top notch which I think also surprised them
Plus at the end of the day money talks and when AJ debuted his merchandise was selling like hot cakes
He went from losing to Jericho at mania to beating Cena clean at Summerslam


They are definitely behind AJ right now...lets see how far it goes.

so either vince lied to him or ryback is just a liar. Makes you wonder about him and the punk situation.

It doesn't really make sense to me why Punk would like about Ryback. He cited numerous incidents where he told Ryback to be careful with his injuries, but he still did what we did. Cokeboy very well may have told Ryback one thing, but we all know that wasn't going to happen.

who did you believe ryback vs. punk?
I dont think Ryback said im stupid but he did do some reckless shyt in those tv matches with those gorilla presses...especially the TLC match. But Ryback was right about one thing..if they thought he was dangerous in the ring, he wouldnt have gotten that post WM 29 program with Cena.

Thats the downside guarantee breh, if he sat at home and chilled, he's guaranteed 500k/yr for 3 yrs.

If he wrestled matches and did ppvs and sold merch, etc. It adds up
That's a great deal.

That's base salary. When he is a champion he gets paid more, when he works house shows he gets paid more, when he works PPV's he gets paid more and when he sells merch he gets more.

He doesn't wrestle longer then 7 minute matches EVER, think about that lol.

500K for a midcard/I.C, title contender who works FULL TIME schedule and has to pay for travel expenses ain't shyt. $1.5M would make more sense but too much for a guy like Ryberg

True, but it's the least amount of dough he can make. He was def making some paper. :dame: tho

:wow: First AJ
:wow: Then given Hulk Boots
:wow: Finally Vince would've given him the keys to the company itself

:troll: I can't wait for the Shoot interview and decipher fact from fiction.
