When Zack Ryder joined the WWE's main roster more than a decade ago, he was quickly made into a tag team champion alongside Curt Hawkins. Not only has Ryder held the WWE Tag Team Championship, but he also a former WWE Intercontinental Champion and a WWE United States Champion; he also technically never lost the WWE Internet Championship. Ryder has an organic fanbase that he helped foster via his old YouTube series, which Sports Illustrated officially recognized back in 2011.

Ryder was part of Wrestlemania 34's Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal, which also included Hawkins and another former tag team partner, Mojo Rawley. Presently, it is unclear as to what Ryder's intended direction is.
His feud with Rawley was never properly resolved. He has not fought for a title recently. But the Long Island native remains popular and is experienced enough to get just about any gimmick or storyline over on a grand scale.
