WWE has had a lot of disagreements with its former Superstars, who often take the company to court. Some of these cases are settled quickly by paying off the accuser. This time, WWE seems to be in a much deeper situation with Ryback.

In a recent post on Twitter, the former WWE Superstar announced that he will be involved in a legal battle with the company over trademark problems. He intends to show no mercy.

Ryback was involved in a lot of problems with WWE towards the end of his career there. As per ‘The Big Guy,’ WWE denied his claims to compensation for a botched ankle injury among others.

He claims that he had a lot of lucrative opportunities outside WWE. However, the company refused to let him probe into them.

Ryback was an absolute beast when he first joined WWE. He was fed the best superstars in the business and he steamrolled all of them. He was on the hot path to being the WWE Champion, when it all started to go wrong.

Ryback finally left WWE in 2016 after a series of altercations with the company. To this day, he maintains his bitterness towards his former employers.
