Does anybody else agree. I haven't watched a full Raw in months. I tune in for Reigns & Ambrose, New Day, Team BAD, & Rollins, and that's it, so I'd completely forgotten he had it since May, & all summer. The only reason I remembered was because I was trying to think of who held the IC title before Owens.
Seriously WHAT HAPPENED during that reign? He had it for 4-5 months. How was it THAT forgettable? Smh.
Nobody has "reigns" anymore. If you're holding any belt whether it's IC, Divas or even the World Championship, you're still basically a jobber trading wins with everyone else. Rollins is 1-19 win loss record within the last month. Charlotte has been pinned multiple times despite being champ, Owens is afraid of Ryback even though he beat him in a 6 minute squash match at NOC.
The only title that's important is the US 'cause guess who's holding it :cena
When was the last time someone had a memorable IC Title reign? Even Kevin Owens' reign is already forgettable and people were saying he'd make the title relevant again if he won it.

Ziggler last year because it was part of the main feud between John Cena and The Authority. He had a few great title defenses, finally got screwed out of the title, had his Survivor Series moment, and then won it back.
The WWE considers the Intercontinental Championship to be the second most important championship in the company, after the WWE World Heavyweight Championship.
ryback was injured a lot. he had a boring fued with show and miz which i acutally do not remember at all.
ryback never really defended his title or had a nice fued going on and then lost to owens.
really not important title reign at all
The injury and the feud with Big Show didn't help Ryback during his title reign. I can't point to a memorable match he had as champion either which ultimately leads to the title reign being forgotten.
I'm going to be honest, there hasn't been an IC title reign I've really remembered besides DBry's (which didn't last long) since I started watching again in 2012.
It was pretty forgettable. Ryback getting injured didn't help it. Last good IC title reign I can remember was when Cody Rhodes had it during his Undashing phase, but then creative decided it would be a good idea to feed him Big Show.
The IC title pretty much like the Hardcore title at this point, almost no prestige and gets hot-potatoed around a lot. But even the hardcore title had its memorable and fun moments.
If Ryback holds the title for months and no one remembers it, did it really happen at all? It's a testament to how lackluster the product is right now.
Tbf KO's reign is on its way to becoming forgettable too.
The only title that matters is the one :CENA holds. Once he takes time off, watch how that becomes irrelevant as well. They might as well just bring out a new title called the John Cena Championship.
I remember emwhen the IC belt meant something, these days like everything else it's lost its allure. Shame too because Ryback and Owens could do so much for that belt.
Ryback as a whole is very forgettable to be quite honest.
