After a quick respite from the plethora of ladder matches that have opened WrestleMania, we come back to yet another on this list that pitted seven men against each other for the Intercontinental Championship for the second year in a row. This match saw champion Kevin Owens battle against Dolph Ziggler, The Miz, Sami Zayn, Stardust, Sin Cara, and eventual winner, Zack Ryder.

While these types of matches often have too much going on at one time, here the focus was almost immediately shifted to Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn. A smart move considering the popularity of the two, and rivalry they shared.

There is always bound to be high flying risks in these matches, but Zayn and Sin Cara in particular stood out and earned their 'holy sh*t' chants with incredible feats of athleticism. There were some wonderful, simply brutal spots in this match before Ryder stole the belt, leaving the audience pumped up and ready for more.
