Speaking on The Angle Podcast, Ryback talked about his alliance with Paul Heyman and Curtis Axel back in 2013.
According to the former WWE star, he never wanted the alliance. Here is what he had to say:
“I think Paul’s great, as far as maybe promos. I didn’t want to do it at the time, I didn’t care,” Ryback said. “I’m not friends with Paul. I’m very honest and I like good people. I didn’t want a mouthpiece, I could talk. I didn’t want to be a part of it. I filled a spot for CM Punk but it was never long term. It was keep Paul on TV and his thing with Curtis Axel ran out shorter than he was expecting. There was never an explanation. It was never we’re putting you with Paul and this is the goal. They don’t know any of that there.”
“I had a lot more fun tagging with Curtis Axel, although that was my quote ‘punishment period’ where Curtis took all of the jobs on matches,” Ryback said. “We were in England and Paul was in the ring and we watched from the monitor and he kind of buried us on TV like he was done with us. We weren’t even told that was happening we just knew he was going to the ring by himself that night.”
