Bryan Alvarez of Figure Four Online/Wrestling Observer Newsletter released footage earlier on showing how Nia Jax had landed a flush punch on Becky Lynch’s face, giving her a concussion and a broken nose and rendering her unable to compete at Survivor Series against Ronda Rousey.
Well, there you go. That was not an inadvertent elbow. She punched her right in the face. I don't want anyone to lose their job, but at the very least Nia needs to be sent back to developmental for awhile. This isn't the first, second or even third time this has happened. https://t.co/ZoVhC4buSL

Ryback took umbrage with Alvarez’ tweet and sprung to the defence of Nia Jax, also strongly criticizing Alvarez for his recommendation that Nia be sent back to developmental to hone her craft.

Shut the fuck up. Who the hell are you to make a statement like that? You’re a fucking mark and your shit opinion is the reason a lot of people spew hate onto wrestlers. You’re a pussy who can’t do it, so you criticize those who can. Mistakes happen, your parents understand that https://t.co/zuhQt7Sbwx

He then added another tweet on the matter, saying that it was totally unacceptable that wrestlers get the kind of hate that they do from people who aren’t professionals from the same industry.
All wrestlers get this kind of hate. They can’t say anything most times and it’s understandable. I on the other hand do what I want when I want and answer to only me. It’s unacceptable to spew hate like that at professionals. Professionals whom have actually made it. https://t.co/eQqPrnRagE

Alvarez then tweeted his reply to Ryback’s strong words, outlining that he is qualified to make an observation about how wrestlers work.
I started wrestling in the mid-90s. In over 1,000 matches with everyone from Buddy Wayne to Lance Storm to Rock & Roll Express and Los Villanos and Larry Sweeney and Jack Evans and everyone else, I never hurt anyone, ever. Pretty sure I'm qualified to give my opinion on working.
