Ryback can still bounce back. He was white hot in the beginning, but after losses to Cena and Punk, pretty much tapered off to where he is now. But that's the story of many big men in the history of WWE. Big Show got beat by Austin on RAW in his first month in the company, and then lost his first major PPV match. He's still a multiple time World Champion. Mark Henry fathered a rubber hand, and he still had an awesome run as the World Heavyweight Champion later on down the line. Ryback is too young, too hungry (no pun intended) and has too good of a look not to succeed.
I think Reigns will follow a similar path to Randy Orton. Built to be "the man", but never really connects with the fans the way that Austin, Rock, Hogan and Cena did in their prime. He'll be pushed down our throats as "the guy," but he'll never really be that.
