Ryback Claims He’s Finally Moved On From WWE Hate After Years of Public Attacks

Ryback is signaling a major shift in tone after years of publicly blasting WWE and its leadership, claiming he has now made peace with his past and is leaving the hate behind.

The former WWE Intercontinental Champion took to Twitter in February 2026 to thank fans for their continued support while addressing lingering resentment tied to his long-running issues with WWE. Instead of firing off another angry rant, Ryback’s message suggested he has turned the page.

“I want to thank all the incredible fans and great people out there. I see the love every day as my platforms continue to grow, and I’m truly grateful. At the same time, I still see some holding onto hate over issues between myself and WWE that were never theirs to carry, often based on misinformation.”

Ryback made it clear that, from his perspective, he already resolved his personal anger over a year ago and no longer sees value in holding onto bitterness.

“Over a year ago I made peace on my end. Staying angry forever only hurts ourselves, no matter who was right or wrong.”

He also encouraged others to move forward, emphasizing personal growth and closure rather than continued hostility.

“Process things, tell your truth, then move forward. If those involved can find peace, so can everyone else and that’s the last bite. Feed me more!”

This message represents a stark contrast from Ryback’s past statements. In previous years, he frequently targeted WWE leadership, including Vince McMahon and Triple H, with explosive accusations and personal attacks. Those comments fueled his reputation as one of WWE’s most outspoken critics since his departure from the company.

Despite those years of controversy, Ryback now appears focused on his personal brand and fan support rather than continuing his war of words with WWE. His statement suggests he believes closure has already been achieved on his end, even if fans continue to debate his legacy and departure.

Whether this signals a permanent shift or simply a temporary calm remains to be seen, but Ryback’s message makes one thing clear: he wants fans to know he has moved forward.
