Former WWE Superstar Ryback Leaks Private Letter Sent to Him by WWE
Ryback has been an active opposer to WWE since his release from the company in 2016. The former United States Champion has been bringing a lot of claims to light through which he plans on exposing the true nature of WWE and its CEO and Chairman, Vince McMahon.
WWE has tried its best to cut off all ties with him and vice versa, but the only thing left is the raging legal battle going on between the two parties concerning trademark usage.

The name ‘Ryback’ and the star’s nickname ‘The Big Guy’ are both trademarks of WWE, but Ryback refuses to surrender those two terms. He continues to go by the name and the nickname on his social media handles.
In a recent post on Twitter, ‘The Big Guy’ shared pictures of what was a private letter sent to him by the Senior Director of Intellectual Property in WWE Matthew C. Winterroth.
They work with @wwe and have suppressed my accounts since I walked out of WWE and would not sign over my social media to them. Proof attached and I need to get this resolved. WWE never owned the brand and I am legally Ryback, with the trademark being awarded to me. https://t.co/kd0eSJCPzq pic.twitter.com/bnVPwHbIkR
