Dana Warrior Says Ryback Is Not Telling The Truth About Almost Wrestling The Ultimate Warrior

Earlier today we reported today that former WWE Superstar Ryback claimed on his he latest episode of his Conversations with the Big Guy podcast that WWE had originally considered Ryback vs. The Ultimate Warrior for WrestleMania 30. He said:

“Mark Carrano actually had showed me the WrestleMania card early. They kind of have an idea of what they want to do, obviously, ahead of time, and they had on it Ryback versus Ultimate Warrior. And I just said, ‘cool.’ But, in my head, at the time, it was during my heel deal, that first one, where it probably wasn’t gonna be a favorable position for me as far as all that. But I was excited, because I figured it was his one last moment in WWE. So, I thought it would be really cool. I didn’t think I would necessarily be the right guy for that, because I didn’t know anything about him. I didn’t know what kind of shape he was in, if he could wrestle or not, but I 100 percent would have done it, because I did everything that they asked me there.”

In an update, Warrior’s wife, Dana, took to Twitter to refute Ryback's claim:

Not true. It always saddens me when people tell untruths on a man's grave to promote their lives. Do your OWN work. Dana https://t.co/B4gFSmKljq
