Ryback vs. Kane: Winner and Reaction from 2014 WWE TLC

After nearly a year and a half of futility in singles pay-per-view matches, Ryback got back on track Sunday night at TLC by defeating Kane in a chairs match.

After a flurry of chair shots exchanged by both competitors, Ryback hit Shell Shocked to win the match.

The fans in Cleveland weren't afraid to voice their displeasure with what they felt was a boring bout. And Ryback wasn't afraid to show his displeasure with the Cleveland crowd, per the Brock Lesnar Guy:The Big Guy has been on a major roll since returning to WWE programming in October. Ryback was spinning his wheels in a tag team with Curtis Axel prior to that, but he got a reprieve when he needed time off to tend to some injuries.

Ryback returned with a new attitude and started to receive favorable pops similar to the ones he elicited when he was red-hot as a top face in 2012.

Despite a supposed babyface turn, The Authority temporarily recruited him to be part of their team at Survivor Series. When the physical specimen from Sin City didn't like the way The Authority did business, though, he ended up joining John Cena's squad.Kane loses the majority of his matches these days, but he maintains credibility due to everything he has accomplished in the business.

With that in mind, Ryback is now in position to continue his ascent. Since WWE is always looking for faces who can get over with the crowd, he certainly has a chance to make some noise in the coming months.
