Wrestling fans are never shy about expressing their opinions, especially regarding new talent or booking, and WWE is no exception. With the ever-growing Bloodline on SmackDown gaining new members, many fans don’t see why some need the spotlight. This is where someone with better knowledge and experience needs to shed some light.
JC Mateo made his debut in WWE at Backlash. He helped Jacob Fatu retain his WWE United States Championship. However, many fans don’t see the point of him being in WWE and The Bloodline.
On Twitter, one fan posted an image of Mateo with the caption, “The most pointless signing?” While fans answered the question, the image of Mateo made it clear that the user had picked him as his answer.
Former Intercontinental Champion Ryback responded directly to the criticism. He said,
>“Your words say more about your insecurity and lack of awareness than they ever will about him. It is not pointless to him or his family.”
>“Every man and woman in this business has spent years grinding to earn these opportunities. Your behavior on social media is a reflection of how your own life is going.”
>“He has a legitimate background, and I’ve wrestled him before. I’m excited to see his development on WWE TV. He is doing great thus far with the opportunities given, and it all takes time.”
Despite his often polarizing presence online, Ryback’s respectful defense of Mateo earned him praise from fans. Before signing with WWE, Mateo represented Guam in the 2004 Summer Olympics.
Following his move to professional wrestling, he worked in Lucha Underground, Ring of Honor, NJPW, and AEW. He’s been a Lucha Underground Champion, NJPW World Television Champion, and a ROH World Television Champion.
