Sami Zayn def. Jeff Hardy and AJ Styles to win the Intercontinental Title (Ladder Match)
The dust has settled in the Intercontinental Title debate, and Sami Zayn is the rightful champion after winning a jaw-dropping Triple Threat Winner Take All Ladder Match against Jeff Hardy and AJ Styles.
The Great Liberator used cunning to prevail, though all three competitors dished out plenty of pain in one of the most brutal and bizarre Ladder Matches in history.
Hardy once again unleashed his inner daredevil, authoring another indelible Ladder Match moment when he delivered a massive Swanton Bomb from the top of a ladder to Zayn, who was laid across another ladder.
But Zayn's use of handcuffs, rather than a spectacular maneuver, played a decisive role. Tethering Jeff's pierced earlobe to one ladder with one pair of cuffs and Styles' wrist to a ladder support with another pair, Zayn ensured no one could stop him from scaling above the ring and pulling down his and Jeff's titles for the amazing victory.
