The Miz Becomes Intercontinental Champion…Again
Dolph Ziggler hits nine elbow drops and The Miz rolls to the outside. He hangs Ziggler up onto the ropes. The Miz hits a big kick to his face and gets a two count. Ziggler hits a big clothesline out of the corner. Clotheslines and a neckbreaker give Dolph another two count. Dolph and Miz are sent out of the ring. Sandow hits Ziggler and then R-Truth on the outside. Sandow yells at Florida Georgia Line and the band stands up to push him on the outside. The stunt doubles leave and The Miz gets kicked in the face by Dolph. Miz reverses a Zig Zag into a Figure Four. Ziggler grabs the ropes to break the hold. The Miz grabs Ziggler’s tights and picks up the win.
What really bothers me is that WWE was more worried about a country band more than their Intercontinental Championship. The match was not great, but was average. I wanted to see some more spots. That is what Dolph Ziggler does best and The Miz steals the win in a choppy match. Next up: Ladder Match for that title. They need to give us a big payoff, not something like this.
Plan B For An Injured Roman Reigns
Seth Rollins wins via forfeit and issues an open challenge. Arriving on time is a taxi and out comes Dean Ambrose. He goes and fights into the arena. Ambrose and Rollins get separated and Ambrose is livid. Dean takes out by flying on the set. Ambrose continues to throw Seth Rollins into the crowd. He clotheslines him over the barricade. Ambrose goes for a chair shot and security, along with Joey Mercury and Jamie Noble, take him down and tie him up.
I would have loved to know what Plan A was, but this was pretty great. They desperately needed Dean Ambrose to come out and get some revenge. This feud, for how long it has went on, has been electric every single time. I give so much credit to Rollins for keeping it going after Ambrose was gone for a few weeks. Ambrose’s return felt very Stone Cold-esque. He garners that natural crowd reaction that just seems like an attitude era storyline. Positive things coming from an untimely injury for Roman Reigns.
