In what could easily be the match of the night, Dolph Ziggler faced off against The Miz in a Steel Cage match. The non-title bout really exceeded the expectations of many fans. The match went back and forth before Ziggler picked up a win against The Miz.
Ziggler bled early in the match and sold well for The Miz. There were some cool spots in the match that reminisced The Macho Man.
Result: Dolph Ziggler defeats The Intercontinental Champion The Miz
