Mark Henry vs Ryback (Non-Title Match)

Result: Ryback def. Henry by pinfall (Shellshock)

Rating: 2.7 stars out of 5 stars

Mark Henry starts the match in control, using power moves to force Ryback to the outside. Henry hits a massive clothesline and continues to out-power Ryback. Henry even starts saying “Feed Me More” to mock Ryback and the crowd. Ryback tries to body slam Henry, but Ryback can’t lift him and Henry drops onto him for a two count. Ryback begins making the comeback and hits Henry with a Meathook Clothesline. Ryback then catches him with a Shellshock for the win.

Good big man match here. Jimmy Uso on commentary was so excited which definitely added to the excitement. Ryback was extremely over in this match, and Henry did a great job of making the champ look like an underdog.

Rollins and J+J are shown backstage getting texts on their Apple Watches that Roman hasn’t been seen in the building yet. The product placement is strong with this one.
