-They run a video package about the history of the Intercontinental Championship.
-Renee Young is with Sheamus backstage, who says he doesn't know about all the continents and he wasn't a big geography buff, but he's the US Champion and he's going to give Bad News Barrett a beating later tonight. Champion vs. Champion.

Bo Dallas vs. Xavier Woods
Bo comes out second – Xavier gets the jobber entrance. He talks about being undefeated with a 2-0 record, and that we can do anything we set our minds to if we simple Bo-leave.
Woods wins the first lock-up, and Bo leaves to the outside and starts “celebrating” with fans on the outside. He re-enters the ring and goes to work with clotheslines and right hands, but Woods runs through him with a shoulder block. Woods with a series of nice kicks, and a running dropkick. He does his rolling clotheslines (the “Honor Roll” I believe), and then heads to the top turnbuckle, but Bo dropkicks him out of the air. Bo-Dog connects for the win.
Winner: Bo Dallas
-Bo thanks the fans and says we are all winners tonight. He hugs Xavier Woods, who just looks confused. All you have to do is Bo-Leave.
KILLAM: I hear people talking about whether they like or hate Bo Dallas, and I'm not quite sure that's the point. Clearly – and we know this because they dub in heat that isn't actually there – we are supposed to boo him. He's a weird character for sure, but I'm not sure if we're supposed to feel sorry for him, think he's condescending, or just despise his naturally annoying personality. I don't know. But I like thinking about it, and he's brought up some good discussions between peers, so he's making an impact in some way. I'm not willing to pass judgment one way or the other yet.
