Ryker is in a coma or worse, he's not a threat. Plus with Charles removed from power, Ryker has now lost all influence he might have had.
I don't think Ryker was ever true rival level, the bowling alley situation just got blown up a bit.
I'm not really sure where a big drama situation fits in, because the way the game is paced, playing every day, any more big drama happening any time soon will feel forced.
Too much has happened the last couple days, MC needs to take off after the exhibition game and just sleep through a few days, get some much needed rest and relaxation.
