Is it time to push Zack Ryder again? Looking at the endangered species that is Smackdown spoilers, he seems to be getting a push. Coincidentally, he seems to be getting a push against Rusev for the United States Championship.
What are the chances that Ryder actually wins the title? I do not think he should. He got a big Wrestlemania moment and Intercontinental Championship win just this year. Yes, the reign was very short, but it is still better than some guys get. And that's why I don't think he should be getting this push. There are a few guys on the roster that have never held a title on the main roster or have not held one in a long time. What about them? It can help them gain some momentum and credibility. It can add to whatever storyline or feud they may have.
Zack Ryder is not a guy that needs all that. He is not someone being groomed to be a main-eventer. He is a guy that got over on his own through his character. The WWE should be giving him things to do that brings that entertaining aspect out of him. How many times can you treat him as an underdog? He was an underdog when he first won the United States Championship. He was an underdog earlier this year for his title win. He's an underdog again against Rusev. Give him some non-title feuds. And it would be nice if some of these non-title feuds didn't involve him just being an underdog.
This is nothing personal against Ryder. I just think he doesn't need to be involved in the title scene to be relevant. I have said the same thing about New Day. They don't need the tag titles to do their act. As a Mickie James fan, I have said the same thing about her in the WWE. I would have loved for her to get some real periphery angles that actually went somewhere. She never did. Ryder should be able to get something good to do without a title being involved.
