There have been many ‘Paul Heyman guys’ throughout the manager’s career, and Ryback was one of them. However, the retired wrestler had only worked with Paul Heyman for a brief time before the latter stopped managing him. When a fan asked Ryback about why this happened, he answered by recalling an incident when he was still in the promotion.
The former WWE International Champion said, “He’s very dirty. He does a lot of backstage shady things. I don’t vibe well with that — but he — and I didn’t want to be with him.”

Ryback added, “He wanted to use me to extend his feud with CM Punk because his run with Curtis Axel was coming to an end… So what he did is he brought me in to fill in for like two or three months and then he left us so he could get away from Curtis, but leave Curtis with me.”

According to the ex-WWE star, Heyman used him to get into another feud, making him just a filler in between. This is something that Ryback is not a fan of, as he has already spoken about Heyman ‘latching’ on to other talents.

In a Twitter Q&A session, he was asked by a fan to lay down his thoughts on Paul Heyman. Little did the fan know that Ryback was waiting for this question. What followed up then was a series of things that he said about his former manager. It was in sync with what he still has to say about Roman Reigns’ wise man.
