On the latest edition of his “Conversations With The Big Guy” podcast, former WWE superstar Ryback commented on various topics, including his time as part of The Nexus faction.

“It was such a weird time, but they had this idea I guess and it was in Miami and we’re all brought to TV and this is after NXT had run its course and we’re brought into a room with Vince McMahon, John Laurinaitis and Michael Hayes where they explain to us The Nexus and we have one chance, one opportunity to go out there and get over and if we don’t, we’re going to be f*****g fired and like, our whole lives we’ve worked for this. We were not given any instructions, except to go out there and just cause hell and tear s*** apart and go out there and get over, which is the best thing you can be told to do, they let us go out there and do whatever, outside of the physicality with John Cena, at the time, outside of knowing what that was going to be, none of us really knew anything else going on, just tear the ting apart. We haven’t done this before and like, just cause chaos and I think there were a couple of things, hit this guy here, hit that guy there, where we kind of knew and it was such a beautiful moment and it is something I will forever be thankful to be a part of.”
