Zack Ryders return to WWE SmackDown didnt end the way fans hoped.
After stepping back into the spotlight for the Last Time Is Now tournament, the former Internet Champion took a hard loss to LA Knightand now his longtime tag partner has broken his silence. Brian Myers took to Twitter after the match and revealed what Ryder asked him in the aftermath of the defeat.
That wasnt a punchline. It was a gut-level moment of concernMyers giving fans a glimpse into how much the loss hit home for his friend. The two have been ride-or-die since their Curt Hawkins and Zack Ryder days in WWE, and Myers didnt need to say much to let fans know the vibe backstage.
Ryder hadnt competed on WWE television in over five years and used his old moniker for the surprise comeback. After spending years on the indie circuit as Matt Cardona, the return was short-livedbut clearly still meant something.
Was this just a quick cameo, or the start of something more? Either way, one things clearBrian Myers is still in Ryders corner, win or lose.
What did you think of Zack Ryders return and LA Knight shutting it down fast? Should WWE run it back or let it be? Drop your thoughts below.
