Ryback Wins Intercontinental Title After Grueling Elimination Chamber Match

Sheamus vs Ryback

Ryback finally got his hands on a WWE title after winning the Elimination Chamber Intercontinental title bout on Sunday.

It sounds incredible that the “Big Guy” has failed to get his hands on a belt in WWE since making his debut over two years ago. It was not for lack of opportunity or lack of trying but Ryback has consistently fallen short over the years.

However, the demons of previous attempt at securing WWE gold was finally put to rest after the grappler came out victorious in WWE Elimination Chamber.

Ryback, Dolph Ziggler, R-Truth, Mark Henry, Sheamus and King Barrett were involved in the intimidating Elimination Chamber structure and the prize was the Intercontinental title which was left vacant following injury sustained by previous title holder, Daniel Bryan.

The match itself was an exciting event with Superstars trading blows and death defying moves inside one of the most inauspicious structures in professional wrestling. In the end, Ryback stood tall after pinning Sheamus for the win.
