In-ring, Dolph Ziggler came to the ring first with Maria. “Unique relationship,” Ross said. Rey Mysterio then came out and Ross referenced the title lineage. Thankfully, he didn’t reference the imaginary IC Title tournament in Brazil, simply wording it as the title was “established” in 1979.

Rey Myserio vs. Dolph Ziggler (w/Maria) — Intercontinental Title match
Dolph connected with an early dropkick, then countered a head scissors into a powerbomb sending Rey neck-and-back-first into the top turnbuckle. Dolph then worked over Rey’s neck with a headlock on the mat. Rey teased the 619 to try to get the crowd alive, but Dolph countered to retain control and the crowd remained quiet. Rey tried to mount a comeback, but Dolph landed a powerslam for a two count. They had a pin exchange at 10:00 leading to Rey nailing a kick strike beneath the chin for a two count. Rey wanted a top rope move, but Ziggler nailed a mid-air dropkick before connecting with a high-impact gutbuster. Rey suddenly fired back with the 619 and springboard splash out of nowhere. Finish came out of nowhere. Maria was indifferent and contemplative post-match after her man lost.

Winner: Rey in 15:00 to retain the IC Title.
