The feud between Intercontinental Champion The Miz and Dolph Ziggler is set to come to an end at TLC in a ladder match with a unique stipulation - no matter who wins the bout, it will be the last one between the men. That means even if The Miz loses his title, he won't get a rematch.

In a sense, that makes the winner more difficult to predict - whoever walks away with the title, there'll be a fresh start for the champion come Tuesday. Still, it's hard to imagine The Miz not getting the opportunity to continue running with the Intercontinental Championship after all of the great work he's done with the belt this year.

From crazy four-way matches prior to the split to playing one of the best heels on the roster against Dolph, The Miz has been a shocking overperformer for the company as a whole in 2016, and the only reason why Dolph even got the opportunity to interrupt his IC Title reign was because of the retirement stipulation. The belt is back where it should be, and where it will stay for a while.
