WWE Intercontinental Title Match
Kofi Kingston vs. Drew McIntyre (c)
Kofi took the early advantage with kicks, and hit a dive on McIntyre from inside the ring to the outside. McIntyre gained the advantage after ramming his back into the post. McIntyre maintained the advantage with submission holds and working over Kofi's midsection. Fans are chanting "Kofi," and it seems like the move to SmackDown! has done him well.
Later in the match, Kofi went for Trouble In Paradise, but McIntyre reversed and went for Futureshock, but Kofi reversed it into the SOS and got the pin. Good opener, and fans were into Kofi.
Kofi Kingston defeated Drew McIntyre via pinfall to become the new WWE Intercontinental Champion.
After the match, McIntyre grabbed the mic and said that the PPV stops right now until Teddy Long reverses the decision and declares him the Intercontinental Champion. Matt Hardy's music hit, and he hit the ring and hit a twist of fate on McIntyre.
