"Some crazy a** sh*t"- 19-year veteran reveals unexpected twist of a major WWE match

A former WWE Superstar who was with the company for 19 years dropped a bombshell, revealing that several stars had to improvise an entire Elimination Chamber match in 2015 when a pod went haywire!

The veteran in question is Nic Nemeth (fka Dolph Ziggler), who was released from World Wrestling Entertainment in September 2023. Back in 2015, Ryback, Sheamus, Mark Henry, Wade Barrett, R-Truth, and Ziggler were a part of the traditional six-man Elimination Chamber contest for the vacant Intercontinental Championship.

Speaking on the Busted Open podcast, Nemeth shared a surprising detail about the 2015 Elimination Chamber match. When Barrett sent him crashing into Mark Henry's pod, the plexiglass broke, and WWE Hall of Famer entered the match early, much sooner than planned!

"So, I think Wade throws me and it breaks. It’s not supposed to, it wasn’t a planned spot and I’m laying there with broken plastic on the ground and I just hear the crowd come up and just start rumbling for Mark," Ziggler said. (H/T POST Wrestling)

Well, the former World Heavyweight Champion helped call the rest of the match on the fly, praising it as a great example of wrestling improvisation. Eventually, it was Ryback who emerged victorious out of the traditional six-man caged match.

"And we had the craziest improv, on the fly 15-minute match with six guys. That is some crazy a** sh*t. I got to a point to where I’m trying to call a match on the fly for six different people where you can’t talk to them and the camera has to be on you at all times," he added. (H/T POST Wrestling)
