Why does Ryback want to call out the WWE on the Joe Rogan Experience?

Ryback's tumultuous relationship with the WWE extended to its veterans, too. Most recently, he had a falling out with WWE legend, Booker T, culminating in the latter revoking his invitation to his podcast. The reason? Booker T didn't think that the disgruntled WWE star was interested in hearing opposing views. This episode further cemented Ryback's reputation for ruffling feathers, as he turned to Twitter to vent his frustration and direct further criticism at the WWE and its management.

Ryback's infamous comments about the recently-deceased mother of Vince McMahon, WWE's Chairman, illustrate just how hostile he is against the company. Although he later apologized, Ryback asserted that he felt compelled to strike back against the company that had allegedly caused him financial harm by delaying the trademark battle over his name.

His acerbic remarks about the company's leadership and practices, coupled with his no-holds-barred style, have made Ryback something of an enfant terrible in wrestling circles. His constant bashing of WWE has not only alienated wrestling legends like Booker T but also other wrestlers like CM Punk, who once accused Ryback of being an unsafe wrestler. Ryback claimed that Punk's issues stemmed from jealousy over merchandise sales, highlighting the competitive, business-centric aspects of their relationship.

Today, Ryback's aggressive advocacy for wrestlers' rights and his willingness to challenge WWE's power dynamics seem to have replaced his wrestling career. His anti-WWE crusade and the controversy it stirs have become his new gimmick, and his anticipated appearance on the Joe Rogan Show suggests he's not done revealing the WWE's underbelly yet.

With Ryback gearing up to air WWE's laundry out for the public to see, it's clear that this particular wrestling match is far from over.

Of course, we won't just rule out the possibility that Ryback is just hyping up his potential AEW debut.
