Retired former WWE Superstar Ryback has expressed his interest in facing AEW star Kenny Omega, despite not having wrestled in five years.

The 41-year-old wrestler left WWE in 2016 after not signing a new deal with the company. Since then, he has been competing on the independent circuit and focusing on rehabilitating his shoulder while growing his Feed Me More Nutrition supplement brand.

The speculation about a potential match between Ryback and Omega arose when a fan suggested the encounter on Twitter. Ryback responded to the fan, praising Omega's conditioning but also emphasizing his own limitless energy and underrated cardio. However, he clarified that his current focus was on facing Goldberg.

"60 minutes! I have unlimited energy and the cardio that never got the respect it deserved. All without being able to breathe through my nose at that and now I can. He is the gold standard of conditioning and I would have no issue at some point putting mine to the test. First things first though. #FeedMeGoldberg," Ryback tweeted.
