As noted, former WWE star
Ryback appeared on a Las Vegas radio show and revealed that he is currently in
talks with the Bellator MMA promotion and is open to fighting.
Ryback left the WWE this summer, unhappy with his push, to take independent bookings. Ryback, 34, was a WWE regular who left the company over contract issues in May and was officially released in August. He has teased joining TNA and now Bellator. We do know that The Big Guy has done at least some MMA training since leaving WWE this summer.
Watch Brock Lesnar VS Braun Strowman
While
having mixed success as fighters, pro wrestlers like Lashley, Brock Lesnar and
Punk have all done well as far as drawing television viewers or on
pay-per-view. Lashley and Lesnar were both high-level amateur wrestlers, with
Lashley winning three NAIA titles and being an Olympic hopeful, and Lesnar
winning an NCAA title. Before he became famous in the U.S., Alberto Rodriguez,
better known as Alberto Del Rio, posted a 9-5 record in MMA, but he was also a highly
rated Greco-Roman style wrestler in his youth.
It
seems like another former WWE superstar is leaving the squared circle for the
octagon. Ryan Reeves, better known by his ring name “Ryback” is strongly
considering a jump from the pro wrestling world to the world of MMA.
