Ryback, as we now know, is no longer with the WWE. However, he's a long way from being done with professional wrestling. In fact, he plans on keeping a full-time schedule, via indie bookings.
So, just how much is Ryback demanding for indie appearances?
As he moves forward, the former WWE Intercontinental Champion is now wrestling under the name "The Big Guy", and according to the Wrestling Newsletter Observer, he is currently charging $4,500 per appearance within the United States.
He's also offering a discounted rate for promoters who book him for multiple dates.
Also, if your promotion has a bad reputation in the wrestling world, you can expect The Big Guy to charge you a premium rate of five grand per appearance. Yes, $5,000 per appearance – within the U.S. – if your promotion has a bad name.
The Big Guy is headed to WrestleCade in November!

Jonathan believes integrity is vital in journalism and ensures his work is high on accuracy. He conducts in-depth research and verifies information from various sources before curating a feature.
Jonathan has engaged in many meaningful conversations with prominent pro wrestling personalities like Drew McIntyre and DDP. He grew up in Memphis, admiring Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan during WWE’s Golden Era in the ‘80s. He has attended many pro wrestling events and credits The Hulkster for making his childhood memorable.
Jonathan, a big fan of Bray Wyatt, would like to see the latter's brother, Bo Dallas, continue his legacy as Uncle Howdy. If he were to work on the storyline, Jonathan would book the return of Erick Rowan as Howdy’s muscle. He thinks it would be a great way to honor the former Universal Champion.
When not writing pro wrestling features, Jonathan likes to collect sports memorabilia and has amassed a large collection of event-used and autographed relics over the years.
