6 Ups And 8 Downs From WWE Elimination Chamber 2015

4. All-In On Ryback

Whether you cherish him or contemptuously serenade "Goldberg" at him, Ryback is at last getting the sort of push he merited over two years prior. In late 2012, Ryback was drawing gigantic serenades and consideration from fans. Instead of getting a midcard title (ala Ultimate Warrior), he was pushed into the headliner scene, which eventually prompted a heel turn when there was no place else for him to go. 

Sunday, Ryback survived the Elimination Chamber to win his first singles gold in WWE, the Intercontinental Championship. He and Sheamus had a pleasant smaller than expected match toward the end as the last two men included, with the Big Guy taking a few harsh proceeds onward the steel before getting the win. Ryback even got a pleasant underwriting from the past champ, Daniel Bryan, which can just help him.
