Not everything WWE touches can turn to gold, but every once in a while, you get to see just how off things can be.

Case in point, witness the six-man bout to name a #1 contender for the Intercontinental Championship. You had Matt and Jeff Hardy, Elias, Jason Jordan, Bo Dallas and Curtis Axel. Not exactly the top contenders who should be vying for the secondary title.

The match itself was a bit of a disappointment, with the men trading offense before Jordan ended up with the final pinfall. And then Miz and the Miztourage laid him out so they could stand tall to close out Raw. It was all a pretty predictable finish to the program.

And while Miz versus Jordan might be a pretty good match, it just isn’t quite clicking. (But this writer has been known to change his mind upon a second viewing, and YMMV.) But we’ve been pleasantly surprised before.
