CM Punk’s return to WWE shocked everyone, including Ryback. The Big Guy even proclaimed that he would retire from pro wrestling if Punk actually returned to WWE. That happened, but Ryback quickly took back that wager.
It appears that the legend of Ryback’s bet against CM Punk’s career is catching up to him. Now, the former Intercontinental Champion can’t even get something to eat without someone hounding him about this broken online promise.
Ryback’s Taco Bell Incident
Ryback shared on his YouTube channel, Ryback TV, a recent story about an incident at a Taco Bell. He explained his attempt to acquire food, but the situation soured when the employee, aware of his bet against CM Punk, wanted to do some trolling instead.
“I just had a horrible interaction with a Taco Bell employee. Probably the first real bad interaction I had with somebody, possibly ever. To order the food I got to the window. A woman took the order. This kid, I give him my card, and he’s literally into my car. Like not all the way into my window but like just staring at me. Like I give him my card and I go to grab my phone, I turn around and he’s just right in my face. He goes, ‘Big guy?’ I go, ‘Yeah.’ He says, ‘Probably live in Vegas,’ I go, ‘Yeah.’ He says, ‘You’re not retiring?’ I just look at him and I go, ‘What?’”
Ryback quickly realized that his little online wager about CM Punk’s WWE return followed him to this Taco Bell visit. The Big Guy said that this fan then demanded a photograph, which he didn’t get.
“He says ‘CM Punk’ and he has a little smirk on his face. He’s just trying to be a smartass and I go, ‘Alright, give me my food.’ He says, ‘Give me a picture,’ and I go, ‘No, give me my food.’ And this kid starts getting an attitude like ‘Oh, you’re mean’ and some other sh*t, and I just go off. Then this other chick comes and I tell her, ‘Get this f**king piece of sh*t away from me.’ Doesn’t even say, ‘Please can I have a picture?’ He just says, ‘Give me a picture.’”
CM Punk’s return was a huge secret, with only Triple H and Nick Khan really knowing before the world found out. WWE’s creative team didn’t even know Punk was returning, and those Superstars in the WarGames match were only informed right before they went out. Obviously, Ryback wasn’t smartened up before he bet his career.
Ryback is still waiting for a green light from his doctor, and he’s selling his Feed Me More Nutrition line while he’s at it. You can find out more about Ryback’s supplements by clicking here.
