THE BIG GUY is still large and holding a title.


This match was supposed to take place at Battleground, but Ryback was unable to wrestle because of a staph infection. Instead of having a No. 1 contender’s match or interim title, WWE just waited to have this match at the next big event with a healthy Ryback. The story has revolved around Ryback and Big Show being two big guys who compete to see who’s tougher, while Miz talks smack, tries to get them to beat each other up and runs away scared from fights.
It looked like Miz was going to steal the title when Ryback hit Big Show with the Shell Shock and Miz took advantage, delivering the Skull Crushing Finale to Ryback, but the defending champion kicked out. Not long after, Big Show connected with a Knockout Punch on Ryback, but Miz broke up his pin attempt.
Show hit another big punch, this time on Miz, but Ryback was the beneficiary. He got up, threw Show over the top rope and pinned Miz to retain the Intercontinental Championship.
