Hands up who remembers, spot-for-spot, the Intercontinental Title clash between 2018's workhorse extraordinaire Seth Rollins and then-heel Elias? There can't be many, probably because WWE themselves barely gave it much focus.

At MITB, Rollins vs. Elias was another lacklustre issue to match Roman Reigns vs. Jinder Mahal or Bobby Lashley vs. Sami Zayn. Somehow, partly due to Rollins' insatiable need to have good matches and Elias doing everything he could to keep up, they worked one of this year's best hidden gems and had fans in Illinois rocking.

For what it was (a relatively throwaway feud that'd pale in comparison to Seth's matches with Dolph Ziggler), Rollins vs. Elias managed to breathe air into an already-struggling pay-per-view and feed nicely into the women's MITB match.
