8 Ups And 9 Downs From WWE WrestleMania 31

UPS€

8. IC Ladder Match Delivers

Disregard the title-snatching that created this feud, otherwise, you€™ll drive yourself crazy. Once WWE announced a seven-man ladder match for the Intercontinental Championship, it became clear that this was going to be a spectacular car crash, and an entertaining one at that. Thankfully, everyone delivered on that promise. The participants worked in several of their signature spots in different ways, which also added to the fun of the match: Daniel Bryan hitting his corner dropkicks with Bad News Barrett sandwiched by a ladder, Barrett pulling Ziggler off the ladder into a Bullhammer elbow, and Ziggler slapping a sleeper on Luke Harper while he climbed the ladder. Now that that€™s over, hopefully most of the participants can go on to real feuds and not fight over stealing a title.
