The Intercontinental Championship triple threat match between Ryback, Big Show and Miz originally was supposed to take place at Battleground, but a staph infection sidelined the champ and delayed the feud for a month. When Ryback returned a couple weeks ago, it looked like we could ramp up and then put this lackluster feud to bed. Not so fast. Although Ryback won Sunday night, he won by pinning Miz after Big Show knocked him out. Any wrestling fan knows that this isnt going to fly as an actual conclusion to the feud. Show will likely claim that he deserves a one-on-one title shot, so well have to endure another confrontation between Ryback and Big Show either on Raw or at Night of Champions next month. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FfEya772YnI Its not that Ryback and Big Show are bad together, but they have been squaring off now for more than two months. Despite Ryback being out for a month, the two have faced each other in some form or another five times, and now it looks like itll continue. Ryback should have Shellshocked both Show and Miz, ended this feud and moved on to something new. It feels like an eternity since he faced someone else.
