Exclusive: Plans For Ryback At WrestleMania 29

By Ryan Clark on March 8, 2013

We can exclusively report that Ryback vs. Mark Henry is being booked for WrestleMania 29 in order to give Ryback a big win against a tough opponent after his high-profile pay-per-view losses to CM Punk and The Shield. WWE is trying to build him back up, even if talk of a heel turn has died down recently.

The company also wants him to have several “WrestleMania Moments” where they do a stare down between two big guys and also for Ryback to be able to pick up a big guy and hit the shellshock finisher.

Believe it or not, Big E. Langston was discussed as a possible opponent for Ryback at one point. The Big Show was also discussed.

    At this point, Henry is the best opponent to Ryback, I know it may sound ridiculous, but Henry’s mic skills are better than Big Show imo. Also, Henry got a more believable mean streak approach to booking and moves that I think people are over looking (deservedly so, since he is squashing tatsu and god damn khali) his style.

    With everything being considered, Henry Ryback is the ideal match, Show, Orton and Sheamus against the Shield is much better match, with Orton who can really work with all three with enough credibility, and Sheamus who can definitely work well with Reigns and his size. Technically, Orton and Sheamus Vs Rolling and Ambrose is amazing on paper, with Show and Reigns are the X-factor to the wrestling quality out of both of them.

      Mark Henry is a decent choice, but Big E Langston would’ve been more appropriate. Big E and Ryback are both fresh faces, and a match of this build could help both men get over. Yeah, Henry already has a veteran’s reputation, but why only put over only one man when it could be mutual?

        Maybe they figure Big E isn’t “over” yet because he hasn’t done anything so Ryback beating him doesn’t help either of them.

        Big E should face Ryback next wrestlemania

  • Captain Obvious

    I guess we can all look forward to Ryback botching his finisher at WrestleMania…

    Ryan Clark.. are you still addicted to sucking dick?

  • Fake Vince

    Ryback should face Gillburg; that would be epic. I think they dropped the ball with Ryback and his losses.

  • targeted individuals

    Big e would have been more beleavable i just don’t see him hitting the shell shock on Henry or show but maybe hill prove me wrong well see
