The Intercontinental Championship match was a brutal war between the three stars. The match kicked off with a chops battle.
Both Sheamus and Drew McIntyre worked together to take Gunther out. After which, both McIntyre and Sheamus wrestled each other. Despite both stars hitting each other with their finishers, neither was able to get the job done.
The Celtic Warrior countered the Claymore with another Brogue Kick and looked to pin McIntyre, but that was broken up by The Ring General. The Intercontinental Champion then hit both his opponents with a Powerbomb and pinned The Scottish Warrior for the win.
The Ring General was successful on his WrestleMania debut and is yet to be pinned on the main roster.
