The man that had an insatiable appetite, always wanting to be fed more, has striven to make himself prominent. He captured the Intercontinental Championship in the Elimination chamber, outlasting five opponents to come out victorious.

While he eventually lost the title to Kevin Owens, Ryback was an active and crucial part of the roster, having both heel and face runs with the company. After departing WWE, the Big Guy started taking independent bookings. For instance, he competed for Northeast Wrestling twenty days after being released.

He has since competed for such promotions as WrestlePro and even competed in the United Kingdom as part of the Revolution Pro Wrestling promotion. Ryback hasn't held back in voicing his thoughts on a number of things related to WWE.

On his own podcast and in an interview, he has given his opinion on such in-ring performers as John Cena and disputed the criticism directed at him by CM Punk. Ryback continues to be active and tries to stay relevant in his post-WWE life.
