Ryback goes on to say that the whole purpose of professional wrestling is to protect your opponent, and he’s beginning to notice that performers are taking more risks than ever in order to make it look like they’re legitimately injuring their opponent. There are more spots than ever on the outside of the ring and on the ring apron, and he fears that performers are going to injure themselves permanently, adding that they can’t make any money if they can’t wrestle.
Ryback says he loved the Miz/ Daniel Bryan match from SummerSlam. He points out that those guys told a great story and didn’t take any unnecessary risks, and it was still one of his favourite matches from the entire weekend. Unfortunately, given the lengthy runtime of SummerSlam the crowd were somewhat dead for this bout.
Ryback congratulates Dean Ambrose on a successful return to WWE during SummerSlam weekend. He points out that Ambrose looks much healthier now after putting on some weight, and he notes that being home for an extended period of time was probably exactly what the doctor ordered for Ambrose.
