CM Punk’s return to WWE at Survivor Series sent shockwaves through the wrestling world, but he hasn’t been able to compete much yet as he is dealing with a triceps injury. Interestingly enough, Ryback had claimed that he would retire if Punk lasted six months after returning to WWE and now he has gone back on his promise yet again.

Ryback, known for his controversial statements, had previously declared that he would retire for good if CM Punk ever returned to WWE. However, when Punk’s iconic return became a reality, Ryback quickly changed his tune and refused to retire.

The Big Guy then claimed that he would retire if CM Punk managed to last six months in WWE after Survivor Series. It so happens that it has been six months since then and so a fan asked him why he hadn’t retired yet.

”Thought you were gonna announce your retirement if Pink lasted 6 months? It’s been 6 months.”

Ryback saw what the fan had to say on Twitter and decided to go back on his words, as he claimed that Punk got injured and he had an injury clause which voided the tweet if Punk got hurt. Ultimately, he blamed CM Punk for not retiring.

”Not sure who Pink is, but Punk had another injury and my tweet had an injury clause in there that voided the tweet if Punk got hurt. I really wanted to announce it, but unfortunately Punk let you and several others down. Have a great day Daniel.”

We have already reported CM Punk’s return timeline after his injury, but many people are certainly not surprised by Ryback backtracking on his previous promise as fans believe they can’t take Ryback seriously at all.
