Ryback Takes Shot At SmackDown’s ‘Big Acquisition’
As we’ve noted, WWE has teased that Vince McMahon will be announcing the biggest acquisition in SmackDown Live history tonight. This is all part of the Superstar Shake-Up, which began on last night’s episode of Monday Night RAW. Former WWE star Ryback took to Twitter to take a shot at WWE.
The former Intercontinental Champion hit out at WWE for not providing healthcare for talents, paying for their travel expenses, and offering them an honest merchandise percentage:
Henry Healthcare? A full blown Employee whose rental cars and hotels are paid for. A Superstar who gets full disclosure on paydays and an honest merchandise %. Subjected to drug tests that don’t leave out Anavar and Sarms. Sounds like a top level talent.

Sami Zayn Doubles Down On Happiness Away From WWE
On last night’s episode of Monday Night RAW, Sami Zayn continued his heel persona, even in front of his native Canadian crowd. Zayn again mentioned how happy he was away from WWE. WWE’s Twitter account mentioned that Zayn having fun with the Canadian crowd was the happiest he has looked in a long time.
Zayn responded by saying the nine months he spent away from WWE were even happier:
Man, that's nothing.
You should have seen me the 9 months I was away from @WWE. https://t.co/ffZ70XSOC8— Sami Zayn (@SamiZayn) April 16, 2019
WWE commentator Corey Graves responded by saying he can confirm Zayn’s claim:
I will verify this statement. Happiest I’ve ever seen Sami. To the point that my friend’s happiness offended me.
