INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPIONSHIP ELIMINATION CHAMBER MATCH
Mark Henry vs. Sheamus vs. King Barrett vs. R-Truth vs. Ryback vs. Dolph Ziggler
Daniel Bryan is sitting ringside with the Intercontinental Championship. It will be King Barrett and Dolph Ziggler to start things off. It’s Barrett pretty much the entire first few minutes of the match, with Dolph getting almost no offense.
R-Truth is the first to come out, but Barrett goes after him inside his pod, throwing him into the cage and beating him down. The beatdown on Ziggler continues. After several minutes of assault, Barrett throws Dolph head-first into Mark Henry’s pod, breaking the “glass”. The big man looks around as the fans cheer him on, and he gets in the ring beating down on King Barrett.
Ryback is next up to enter. Although technically there’s only one man still to be released, as the referee tries to get Henry to get back in his cage, but eventually just gives up. It’s an all-out brawl between Ryback and Sheamus and Barrett while the two smaller guys take a breather. Barrett puts on his red elbow bad and lines up for the Bull Hammer on Henry, but runs into a superkick from Dolph, and the Lie Detector from Truth. King Barrett has been eliminated.
Here comes Sheamus. Wait…the pull the ole “my door won’t open” trick. No Sheamus. False alarm. Ryback with the Shellshock. R-Truth has been eliminated. While Ryback beats down on Henry and Ziggler, Sheamus and the referees are working on his door. I kid you not – Sheamus uses his cross necklace to “pick the lock” and let himself out. Are you not entertained!?
HERE COMES SHEAMUS! (I think he actually used the necklace to make sure he COULDN’T get out of the pod, and stay alive longer, but they did an AWFUL job showing it, and the babyface announcers totally missed the call.) Henry goes after him and the two big men brawl around, but Sheamus catches him with the Brogue Kick. Mark Henry has been eliminated. Sheamus and Ryback taking turns beating down Ziggler. Dolph with a superkick on Ryback and the Fameasser on Ryback, but he runs into the Brogue Kick. Dolph Ziggler has been eliminated.
It’s down to Sheamus and Ryback, so the crowd kind of picks the better of two evils and a few dozen of them chant “feed me more!” The building is dead. Sheamus hits a few clubbing blows and they pan over to Daniel Bryan at ringside, looking bored. Ryback comes back with some shoulder tackles. He tries for his finisher on the metal floor, but Sheamus counters into White Noise. He lines up for the Brogue, by Ryback catches him in the air and slams him against the cage, then powerbombs him into the ring. Shellshock connects! 1…2…3!
WINNER: RYBACK
