Injured Ryback out of WWE Battleground

Ryback has been pulled off from Battleground

WWE has announced that Intercontinental champion Ryback was injured on RAW and will not be able to defend his title against Big Show and The Miz at Sunday’s Battleground pay-per-view. They wrote:

“Earlier this week on Raw, Intercontinental Champion Ryback sustained a right knee injury that will prevent him from competing and defending his title this weekend at WWE Battleground.”

Ryback won the Intercontinental title at the Elimination Chamber pay-per-view against five other contenders besting Sheamus, R-Truth, King Barrett, Mark Henry and Dolph Ziggler. The title was vacated by Daniel Bryan after the former WWE World champion was forced to relinquish the belt owing to his nagging injuries.

The Big Guy has been involved in feuds with The Miz and Big Show recently and was supposed to defend his title against them, a match which certainly is out of the equation now. How WWE is going to address the situation and find a replacement match for the PPV remains to be seen.
