8. Ryder Stands Tall, Sort Of

Yes, Zack Ryder is in a WrestleMania match on Sunday. No, it€™s not on the pre-show, nor is it as filler in the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal (which appears to be more than a dozen short of 30 men).

Ryder is one of seven men competing for the Intercontinental Championship Sunday. And Monday night, he scored a pinfall victory over Chris Jericho, rolling him up shortly after an AJ Styles distraction. But lest Ryder actually get to celebrate his victory, he immediately ate a Codebreaker and was left laying in the ring for Styles to make the save.

Because you can€™t have Long Island Iced Z actually stand tall after a match. Sure, it fit the storyline, but Ryder definitely eats more than his fair share of humiliating moments. It€™s a shame that he couldn€™t even get a Raw win and enjoy it for 30 seconds.
