On RAW this past week, Luke Harper surprised the WWE Universe by winning the Intercontinental Championship from Dolph Ziggler. This was after he suffered a beat down at the hands of Harper, Rollins, Noble and Mercury. Despite showing a lot of heart and determination, the creepy-looking Harper managed to take his title from him. A possible stipulation that couldve been added to Ziggler himself wouldve been for the Authority to completely revoke the rematch clause that he had as Intercontinental Champion. Their justification for doing so would simply have been that theyre the Authority and they can do what they want. Its the easiest way of getting more heat towards the evil Authority, and a good way to keep fans firmly behind Ziggler. While Ziggler clearly deserves better than being Intercontinental Champion in 2014, he was doing well as Champion for a while, and it appeared to mean a lot to him. As such, the threat of never getting that rematch again wouldve added to his fire, which in turn wouldve led to a greater effort on his part to defeat the Authority at Survivor Series.
