Ryback is owning up to a mistake he made this week.

“The Big Guy” returned to social media on Thursday night to clear the air regarding a previous post he made about an edited clip from the “What Do You Wanna Talk About?” podcast featuring Cody Rhodes and Kevin Owens. He wrote,

“I want to clarify something from my recent post regarding the clip with Kevin Owens and Cody Rhodes. After speaking with Kevin, he confirmed the person referenced in that specific comment wasn’t me. My name did come up in another part of the conversation, but not in that clip.”

He added, “I jumped to conclusions based on the name being censored and Cody mentioning working shows with the guy. Since I haven’t been publicly mentioned much in recent years, I assumed it was about me — and I was wrong. I appreciate Kevin for the honest conversation. We’ve always gotten along, and I’ve always respected both him and Cody. This is a reminder to ask before assuming, and I’m grateful the post brought awareness to my story regardless, as a lot has been misunderstood in the past. Much love to you both.”
