The Big Guy hasn't been seen in any wrestling capacity since 2018, when he supposedly competed in his final match before calling it quits.

The 41-year-old was best known for his time with WWE, where he was mired in the upper-mid card division before a contract dispute led to his sudden departure from the company in August 2016.

Having often been compared to Goldberg due to his sheer resemblance with WCW Icon's menacing personality, Ryback hasn't had the same success when it comes to a championship resume.

Amidst his wrestling hiatus, Ryback took to his YouTube channel to upload a montage video of his old self, flashing the AEW logo in the clip.

His cryptic tease has caught many fans by surprise, with some fans already mulling over the possibility of the former Intercontinental Champion coming out of retirement to sign with All Elite Wrestling.

Former WWE Superstar Ryback wants to face AEW TNT Champion Wardlow

Despite being away from professional wrestling for almost five years, Ryback has continued to tease his return to the ring.

Earlier this year, the veteran talked about the possibility of facing AEW star Wardlow if the opportunity comes knocking on his door:

"Yeah, [getting back to the ring is] the goal, I think. I finally won my Ryback trademark for everything. We're just waiting for the official documentation, which might be a few more months, but once that documentation is in my hands, we will be able to move forward and do business. I'm finally healthy. I'm back and this is the year...There's a lot of guys that I have my eye on. Wardlow piques my interest, and I think there's a big opportunity right there," Ryback said.

Aside from Mr. Mayhem, The Big Guy has also expressed interest in facing 'The Cleaner' Kenny Omega.

With the launch of the new show Collision on Saturday Night and AEW possibly doing a hard brand split, Tony Khan could bring in someone like Ryback to bolster his roster.

As of this writing, there's no word on whether the two parties have held talks about working together. Only time will tell whether the former WWE Superstar's latest tease will lead to his potential AEW signing.
