Intercontinental Championship: Wade Barrett vs. The Miz vs. Curtis Axel
Disappointingly, almost tragically, to me at least, Fandango has suffered a concussion and WWE is holding him out of the event for health reasons. Unfortunately for Fandango and his fans we won't get to see him hoist the belt Sunday, something he was virtually guaranteed to do. He has now been replaced by Curtis Axel and it looks like WWE is going to give him the belt. Wade Barrett, although certainly deserving of more, has been in no man's land with the title and loses every other week. The Miz is what he is. He's the Miz. To me he is harmless because he doesn't do anything of substance. Nothing that he does matters so why should I really care about it? Axel is being given a monster push at the moment and even though the IC Title isn't what it once was it's still a stop on the way to the top. After trying to hard to establish Axel as a real force there is no way that he loses this match. The belt will continue to suffer around the waists of either Barrett or the Miz so it makes perfect sense.
Winner: Curtis Axel
