WWE SummerSlam: 10 Matches To Make The Perfect Event
10. WWE Intercontinental Championship: Ryback (C) Vs. Rusev
The spring was rough for Rusev, who lost his undefeated streak, his U.S. Title, and his relationship with Lana in the span of a couple of months, then suffered an injury that put him on the shelf for another six weeks. Now that "The Super-Athlete" is back, his sights are set on championship gold -- he's already answered John Cena's U.S. Title open challenge, but interference by Kevin Owens robbed him of his chance to win the belt.
Perhaps Rusev should set his sights on a different title. The former U.S. Champion was scheduled to participate in the Elimination Chamber match for the Intercontinental Title, but his injury forced his removal from the bout -- he still has a claim to an Intercontinental Title shot. Current IC Champion Ryback is on the shelf with a staph infection, but he should be back soon -- and Rusev could easily target him. A match between the two behemoths would be a brawl worthy of SummerSlam.
