Thanks to some expectedly heelish tactics, Kevin Owens gained his first taste of gold on the main roster of WWE. 

Ryback's woes began when Owens put him in a hammerlock on the apron and drove him shoulder first into the ring post. That injured shoulder and arm was repeatedly targeted throughout the rest of the match.

The Big Guy tried to mount a comeback, but buckled on his first attempt at a Shellshock. On the second Shellshock attempt, Owens raked at the face of Ryback to escape the maneuver. The referee did not witness these illegal actions.

Owens rolled up Ryback for the win, claiming the Intercontintal Championship for his own. This was a fun opener to this show.

Later in the night, Owens was asked about the controversy of how he won the match. He used it as a chance to take another shot at Ryback's affinity for the self-help book, The Secret. Hopefully they get another big match out of these two.
