Ryback Addresses Rumours He’s Heading To AEW

Everyone and their mothers seems to be being linked to a move to All Elite Wresting, which is of course natural given how potentially huge the creation of the promotion could be for the future of pro-wrestling. The latest name to be linked is that of former WWE star Ryback, with Goldberg’s son being talked about in regards to a move to AEW.

During an interview with Comic Book Movie, the Big Guy was asked about his current and future plans within pro-wrestling, and the rumours that have been circulating about him and AEW.

“Right now, my main priority is just getting healthy. I just had another shoulder scope yesterday which was my second one in two years. I’ve had ten stem cells procedures and I’ve got the eleventh coming up on February 11th. That, right now, is my main focus.

“I want to get as strong and healthy as possible and that will take a few months and then I can evaluate where I am physically and decide what route I want to go with wrestling. I have no doubt that no matter what I choose, it will be the right decision.

“After leaving WWE, I was hurt first and foremost and I’ve essentially saved my career and been blessed by the technology that we have with stem cells where I’ve avoided having five discs fused and a shoulder replacement.

“I was in a bad way so it looks like I’m going to have a second chance to actually have a new body and do what a lot of performers wouldn’t have had the opportunity to do. Where that’s at, I don’t know, and it honestly hasn’t crossed my mind yet because I need to get to a certain level health wise before I know I can push myself at a high level again.”

So perhaps for now old Skip Sheffield isn’t ready for a return to the ring, but when the time comes, could AEW be his destination of choice?
