This is because Mateo isn't presented as a dominant force like he was during his run on the Indies.However, when a fan pointed this out to Ryback on social media, the former WWE star came to JC Mateo's defense, stating that this opportunity is not pointless to the MFT member or his family. He also added that the former Jeff Cobb is doing the best with the opportunities given to him."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," he wrote.It will be interesting to see if JC Mateo will get a singles push in the WWE.
