WWE is known for its storytelling and feuds inside the ring that captivate the audience. However, sometimes the most intriguing news related to the sports entertainment company may come away from the squared circle. The company has found itself involved in many battles over the years and recently they have been part of a much-protracted saga involving its former star.

Former Intercontinental champion Ryback has been butting heads with WWE ever since his release. Ryback’s issue with the promotion has been about the trademark of his in-ring name which WWE has refused to let go of. But in a recent update shared by ‘The Big Guy’, he revealed that WWE has given up in the legal battle and he now owns the trademark to his name.

In the modern wrestling era, there have been few off-screen feuds similar to the Ryback-WWE saga. Following his release from WWE in 2016, Ryback has constantly accused the WWE of exploiting his likeliness and that the company has refused to hand him the trademark for his own name. The saga began in 2020 when former CEO Vince McMahon was still in charge of WWE.
