June 4, 2015

In related news, the impression given to Dave Meltzer is that Sheamus was originally scheduled to win the IC Title at Elimination Chamber, but a last minute decision was made to have Ryback win instead.

Shortly before the PPV, it was announced that Sheamus had booked the role as Rocksteady in the upcoming Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie, and while production dates for the film are unknown as of now, Sheamus needing to take time off to shoot the movie could have played into WWE’s decision to give the belt to Ryback.
