Ryback notes that WWE are calling up a lot of talents from NXT here lately, and they need to be careful because the roster is getting fairly crowded and it’d be unfortunate if some of them get lost in the shuffle. He notes that the jump to the main roster can be challenging for some talents, because you get thrown through the ringer and you have to “stay above water” there.
He points out that your booking can be good one week and bad the next, and that can be confusing for talents. He adds that you have to establish good relationships with the creative team so you can fight for your character.
Drew McIntyre was one of the recent NXT call-ups, and he’s been paired with Dolph Ziggler. Ryback points out that McIntyre looked like he was being groomed for a big singles run in WWE, but that doesn’t appear to be the plan right now. He says that McIntyre and Ziggler have known each other for a long time and they have a great look together.
While WWE mightn’t have a clue what they’re going to do with this tag team yet, these two guys are going to go out and give it their all every night. Similar to Sheamus & Cesaro, Ryback thinks McIntyre and Ziggler can have success as a team.
