Role and villainous acts[]
In 2010, he lead Team Nexus, under Cm Punk's command, to destroy the alliance of other wrestlers by picking one by one, and fighting them with no mercy. Ryback helped Punk defeat John Cena and Randy Orton, but was eliminated due to heavy injuries. In that battle, he and John Cena where revealed to be sworn enemies. In 2012, Ryback became more of an adversary, and he managed to almost stop and defeat Roman Reigns. He also put a stop to CM Punk's activity, and got rid of him for the next while. He mercilessly let Camacho come closer to him in anger, just so he could rid Camacho during the battle.
He also fought and stopped Brad Maddox in november, and lifted him up infront of the audience, stating that he is at home.
He also managed to enslave Dolph Ziggler by defeating him and making him surrender to this fight.
Ryback also powerbombed CM Punk with a table, thus defeating him. He also fought John Cena, who ultimately defeated him. However, he was attacked by a group of fans, as he wanted to kill the raging fans, and was held back by the security guards.
In 2013, he fought John Cena, ultimately trying to illegally throw him into the ambulance truck, and kill him there. However, John Cena self-defended himself, and became the winner eventually. He then threatened to do the same to Kane, and told him that he rules the games, and that one day he will instruct other wrestlers and tell them all what to do, thus remaining above them all. Kane told him that his rules maybe control hell, but they don't manage to control him. Ryback defeated him in a battle, and through him onto a table, then stating in anger that he will rule.
He later fought Big Show and defeated him, but was in return defeated by an enraged Randy Orton.
He also almost killed Mick Foley, but was humiliated by Cena who came into the ground and stopped him from doing so, thus telling him the consequence.
