Ryback would fight back and hit a powerbomb over the ropes. He then hit Shellshock for the win to become the new Intercontinental Champion.
Rob’s Note: Good for Ryback. This is his first WWE singles title win. Unfortunately, it came in a very bad match, arguably one of the worst Elimination Chamber matches ever. There was nothing exciting about this that would make a fan go back and re-watch on the WWE Network.
