Former WWE star Ryback and current competitor Dolph Ziggler got into a Twitter exchange yesterday, with the Show-Off revealing that he did everything in his power to avoid a match with The Big Guy when he was still on the roster.
It began when Ryback tagged Ziggler in a response to a fan saying, “I’ve had more heat walking by @HEELZiggler flirting with Plug in any random diva 💁♀️ asking if we’re going for @hooters after the show.”
Ziggler saw Ryback’s tag and writes, “Woooo the “random diva” even complimented your massive forearms! well the one, anyway.”
Ryback then recalls a match the two had in the ring together, where Ziggler “forgot” to duck a lariat. Ryback writes, “Had to have been the one that knocked you out when you “forgot” to duck. Still baffles me to this day a guy with your neck width crumbled so easily, but shooters all have their weaknesses.”
It was here where Ziggler made it personal by going after Ryback’s notorious unsafe working styles. He says, “I did whatever I could to get out of a Ryback match, only getting hit once. It was the safe thing to do & not breach my contract. Plus they said being in the ring with you, counted as community service. ps: feel free to google the word “safe.”
