Just as WrestleMania 31 had, 32 opened with a Ladder Match for the WWE Intercontinental Title. Fans were feeling good following the WWE Women's Championship announcement, and those good vibes carried over into the 17 minutes offered up over the long-running secondary prize for male performers.

Right at the beginning of the stunt show match, Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn engaged in a fist fight which had the AT&T Stadium crowd rocking early. It came across like people had hoped the real-life friends would have their one-on-one moment at 'Mania, and they were thankfully handed such an opportunity in front of such a massive audience.

Seeing the artists formerly known as Kevin Steen (Owens) and El Generico (Zayn) square off was amazing. There was a real buzz in the air, like folks can't wait to see them face off in proper singles matches again, only this time on major shows like Raw and SmackDown.
