Well, yeah. Punk was the heel champion at that point and Ryback was the perfect guy for the crowd to ride to the top.
Just like Goldberg's reactions were partially thanks to Hogan and the NWO. More so even.
Like I said, no one else would have been getting that kind of reaction at the time other than Ryback. As soon as he started that Punk feud, he was perceived as the next big thing fans had been waiting for for years and years until WWE dropped the ball.
