Former Intercontinental Champion Ryback wished The Game a happy retirement, but harshly on his Twitter. The tweet highlighted the personal grudges that Ryback still holds against WWE and The King of Kings.

The tweet said, “You ended up being the biggest disappointment for me personally from loving you growing up, but I wish you well in retirement and future good health. #HHH #TripleH #Ryback #Retirement @TripleH”

Ryback later replied to a fan clarifying his previous tweet for The Cerebral Assassin. He said, “I truly wish him well. He went out of his way to prevent multiple opportunities for me, lied, and is part of a company I have a legal battle with and have won everything. I put out a heartfelt message and speak from experience, but wish him the best. Negative marks are horrible.”

Fans assumed Ryback to be the next biggest draw in WWE when he debuted in 2012. WWE directly sent him to the top of the ladder to challenge CM Punk for the WWE Championship. But the things didn’t go the way Ryback thought. Everyone even compared him to Bill Goldberg for his time in WWE. 

This is not the first time Ryback has been harsh about WWE or Triple H. There are many instances when Ryback stated Triple H stopped his push in WWE. He thinks his WWE career was over because of the influence of The Game backstage.
