The Long Island Iced-Z didn't perform in front of his home crowd
WWE always make sure that the hometown hero picks up a win in front of his fans. This time, however, Zach Ryder who is from Merrick New York, didn't get a chance to impress the people from his city.

Ryder was seen in a backstage segment with Kurt Angle but was soon interrupted by Jinder Mahal who wanted to be part of the qualifying triple threat match later in the night. Sadly, this was the only TV time Ryder got.
On the other hand, Mojo Rawley answered the IC Title open challenge held by Rollins. During the IC Title match and the time Rawley made his way to the ring, the crowd made sure that what they wanted was heard with the chants of "We want Ryder".

Had Ryder answered the challenge, this match could have easily been the most entertaining one for the crowd.
Ryder could have given the crowd a match to remember and Seth Rollins, after retaining the title, could have held Ryder's hand up high and left the ring allowing Ryder to embrace the crowd's love for him.

Kishan Prasad
Kishan is a WWE writer at Sportskeeda Wrestling and has been associated with the division for 8.5 years. Even though he doesn't work at Sportskeeda on a full-time basis, writing about wrestling keeps his passion for the sport alive. He reports on important updates from wrestlers and rumors from trustworthy sources.
Kishan recalls the best match he witnessed when he was just 6 – the Hell in a Cell Match at Armageddon 2000. Watching the six men push each other to their limits and then some made him realize how incredible pro wrestling is.
He graduated as a Chemical Engineer a few years before he began his journey with Sportskeeda. A couple of years as a non-contracted writer for the website became a full-time opportunity that included managing the pro wrestling division.
Kishan's favorite wrestler is Triple H, as he can pull him into any storyline. In today's era, one can call him a Seth "Freakin" Rollins fan for the same reason. When he is not writing for Sportskeeda, Kishan works as a digital marketing professional.
