* FanNickname:
** Ryberg, in reference to his similarities with Wrestling/{{Goldberg}}.
** Also, Goldberg Van Dam, due to the singlets he wears being reminiscent of [[Wrestling/RobVanDam somebody else]]. And there's a very good reason for that: RVD and Ryback have the same graphic artist for their ring gear.
** After seeing him struggle to pick up several opponents for his finisher, some fans have taken to calling him "Rybotch".
** [[Wrestling/BryanDanielson Daniel Bryan]] has a tendency of calling him "''[[SpellMyNameWithAThe The]]'' Ryback."
** After his heel turn and feud with John Cena, he became "Rybully".
** After a few decidedly uncomfortable segments, fans have dubbed him "Rapeback".
** Roidback is another one, due to his physique.
** His RedBaron "The Big Guy" originally started out as this.

** After he uploaded a ten minute ASMR video of himself eating chips, clips from the video have been used as a reaction image for waiting or apathy-inducing situations.

* HilariousInHindsight: At ''Payback 2016'', held in Chicago, Ryback did CM Punk's taunt on the entrance ramp, after months of having added to his "Wake Up!" phrase when entering the ring, "It's Feeding Time!", CM Punk having said "It's Clobbering Time!" when he did so himself.[[note]]Ryback had been baiting Punk's fans for months on Website/{{Twitter}}, stemming from Punk getting back surgery in 2015 which they see as partially Ryback's fault for dumping him on a concrete floor from the stage.[[/note]] The next day, Ryback left WWE over his position in the company and treatment, exactly like Punk had two years ago.

** The fact that, after years of Ryback receiving Goldberg comparisons, Goldberg actually returned to WWE just a few months after Ryback himself left under acrimonious circumstances.

* HarsherInHindsight: One of the more well-loved segements of Ryback's divisive career was a tie-in bit with Subway where one of their employees was running a sandwich table for the wrestlers. Ryback arrived, menaced the worker for a sandwich, intimidated him into letting him take a second sandwich and left. A short, hilarious segment that is unfortunately ''ruined'' by the fact that the employee was Jared Fogle, then known as a Subway spokesman, but who later was convicted for being a child molester. Add to that Ryback's hatred of "bullies" during his first heel run (as insincere as it was), and it puts it into a whole new context.

* EnsembleDarkhorse: The very fast main event push so soon after debuting (his first PPV match was a steel cage match with CM Punk for the WWE Title) soured a few fans on him, but he's settling nicely as a face in the upper midcard, probably helped along by his catchphrase (which is quick, simple, and fun to yell if nothing else) and his well-documented passion for the business (which sets him apart from [[Wrestling/{{Goldberg}} the man to whom he's most often compared]]. He's also [[{{Determinator}} come back from several unfortunate and awful injuries]], which tends to make a performer more sympathetic.

** "I'M DUMB AS FUCK" after CM Punk stated Ryback used this as the reason why he kept injuring Punk in matches.

* BaseBreaker: You either think Ryback is an intense, one man killing machine who is quickly paving his way to be one of the biggest badasses on the WWE roster with a memetically awesome CatchPhrase, or you think he's just a dime a dozen musclehead with one of the corniest lines in the industry who nonetheless seems to be becoming inexplicably popular. There seems to be no middle ground.
