Elimination Chamber Match for the vacant intercontinental Championship: Dolph Ziggler vs Rusev vs R-Truth vs Sheamus vs Ryback vs King Barrett
Preview: Elimination Chamber matches are always an exciting match, and this one has a lot of talent vying for Daniel Bryan’s vacated Intercontinental championship. Three of these men were in the Wrestlemania 31 ladder match or the title, and this match will try to capture some of that magic as well. All the guys in the match up have been meeting each other in one on one matches through the past two weeks, and there’s a couple subplots brewing.
Will Rusev crush Ziggler for making out with his former girlfriend Lana? Will King Barrett win his 6th Intercontinental title? How will Ryback and Rusev fair in their first chamber match up? Is R-Truth afraid of enclosed spaces, like he is with spiders and heights?
Prediction: Two people in this match are better positioned than the others to walk out champion: Ryback and Sheamus. Rusev and Ziggler may have their own rivalry over Lana after Elimination Chamber. R-Truth has not been booked strongly enough to win, and Barrett was a weak champion during his last reign. Sheamus and Ryback are the two best candidates for the title, and I’m giving the edge to Sheamus. Time for heel Sheamus to be the evil counterpart to John Cena in the midcard, fella.
