SPOTLIGHTED PODCAST ALERT (YOUR ARTICLE BEGINS A FEW INCHES DOWN)...

PWTorch learned Monday night during Raw that Ryback left Raw TV after a conflict with management.

The preliminary details are Ryback was upset and expressed his discontentment after reaching his boiling point.

During the Raw broadcast, Ryback was advertised for a #1 contender battle royal to the U.S. Title.

However, when the battle royal came around, Ryback was not in the match.

Ryback had one of his better career matches against U.S. champion Kalisto on Sunday at the Payback PPV pre-show.

However, Ryback was booked to lose his second consecutive title shot against Kalisto following their pre-show match at WrestleMania. Ryback was initially penciled in as a favorite to win the re-match.

Overall, it was apparent Ryback was nearing his boiling month last month when he publicly commented on his frustration with his position in WWE. Ryback suggested he would consider other options besides WWE when his contract came due because he felt that hard work was not being rewarded.
