Luke Harper vs. Dolph Ziggler for the Intercontinental Championship
Ziggler came out firing against Harper, who was quickly knocked to the outside and forced to regroup. Ziggler kept that advantage up, until Harper used his size advantage, and his strange offense to go to work on Ziggler.
Ziggler got back into it using his great move-set and athleticism and got a couple of close roll-up attempts, but Harper stayed in it.
The match moved to the outside, with Harper in control. Harper dominated Ziggler, and went to throw him back in the ring, but Ziggler countered with a superkick. Ziggler barely got back in the ring, but Harper was counted out.
Ziggler defeats Harper via countout, but Harper retains.
After the match, Harper retrieved the belt and attempted to attack Ziggler with it, but Ziggler ducked under it and hit Harper with a Zig Zag.
3.5 out of 5 stars – These two will just never put on a match that is worse than “above average.” They’re just too good.
