WWE Intercontinental Championship Elimination Chamber
Sheamus vs. King Barrett vs. R-Truth vs. Ryback vs. Dolph Ziggler vs. Mark Henry

Mark Henry is revealed as Rusev's mystery replacement, and he's put in a pod as Dolph Ziggler and King Barrett kick off the match. Ziggler utilizes his excellent amateur wrestling skills early, but Barrett turns the tides with a vertical suplex. A big kick on the ropes gets a two count before Barrett applies a chinlock. Barrett attacks until R-Truth is released.

Barrett attacks Truth inside the pod before bringing him out of it and tossing him into the chains. Both Ziggler and Truth are down, and Barrett is in control early on. Truth comes back a little, but gets caught with Winds of Change for two. Ziggler also makes an offensive cameo, but gets booted in the grill for his troubles. Mark Henry busts out of his pod early when Barrett sends Ziggler through it, and Ryback comes in a few seconds later.

For some reason Mark Henry breaks up a pin on Ziggler and attacks Barrett. King goes for a Bull Hammer but eats a superkick, snake eyes and Lie Detector and gets pinned by R-Truth. Sheamus can't get out of his pod, and the other three guys team up to beat down Mark Henry, but then Ryback hits Truth with Shellshocked to eliminate him.

Sheamus finally picks the lock and taunts Mark Henry. He escapes a World's Strongest Slam, and Brogue Kicks him to eliminate Henry. Sheamus then slowly works over Dolph Ziggler before hitting a nice suplex slam for a two count. It really seems like they're trying to kill time in there.

Dolph gets a big DDT on Sheamus, followed by a superkick to Ryback. Dolph turns around and gets blasted by Sheamus for the pin, he's eliminated. Sheamus taunts Bryan outside the ring, and walks right in to a big comeback from Ryback. Sheamus rolls outside and tries to gets back to his pod. He hits Ryback with White Noise on the steel, but only gets two. Ryback gets him with Shellshocked and wins.

Winner: Ryback via pinfall (Shellshocked) to become the new Intercontinental Champion

After the match, Daniel Bryan presents Ryback with the title and chants "Feed me more."
