Ryback discussed the releases of Curtis Axel and Cain Velasquez on his latest Conversations With the Big Guy podcast. Here is what he had to say: 

On Axel’s cut: 

“In one way, I’m very happy for him. Because I feel like he was never going to be allowed to be himself or to do anything significant there. On the other hand, though, I know he has a wife and kids, and I know them. And it’s — when you have a steady paycheck coming in for years, and then that all of a sudden is not going to be there anymore in this times of uncertainty, it makes me a little bit upset that he got released with like, the other guys like Heath [Slater] that I personally am invested in and know. I just think it is horrible timing with everything, but hopefully all this is easing up.

“I think — I truly mean this, like with Heath and him, Joe. If he could be Joe Hennig, I think AEW can get some great, great stuff out of him and I think he could add to that roster, in one way or another.”

On Velasquez’s release: 

“Yeah, that was one, he’d out of the picture. I think they got what they wanted out of him. I think they were going to be, if they got two of it with him and Brock, that probably would have been there ideal circumstance, or ideal thing that they would have wanted with that. They had Brock avenge the UFC loss with that [at Crown Jewel 2019]. And with his injuries and — he’s one of the greatest MMA heavyweights of all time. I mean, in his peak, in his prime, the guy was just an absolute beast. Still is. It’s just so hard to start something new at this stage of the game. And not to say that he can’t because he already has had some success with it.”
