The Intercontinental Championship match between Gunther (c), Drew McIntyre, and Sheamus was marked by intense friction between McIntyre and Sheamus as both pursued the title. Gunther capitalized on their rivalry by encouraging them to fight each other, but McIntyre got the upper hand by delivering a Claymore Kick to Gunther. However, Gunther proved himself as "The Ring General" by directing the action and bludgeoning both challengers. The fans were treated to a hard-hitting match with plenty of chops and forearms that left Gunther's chest black and blue.
Sheamus earned a standing ovation from the crowd after subjecting McIntyre to over 25 Beats of the Bodhran, which continued until McIntyre collapsed. Sheamus nearly won the championship with a Celtic Cross and a Cloverleaf on Gunther, but the friction between him and McIntyre continued to simmer. Sheamus betrayed McIntyre by breaking up a pinfall after a Brogue Kick, and the two friends exchanged blows but couldn't keep each other down. Gunther capitalized on their rivalry by powerbombing Sheamus onto McIntyre and then powerbombing McIntyre for the win.
The match exceeded expectations and told a compelling story of betrayal and rivalry between McIntyre and Sheamus. Sheamus was the MVP of the match, as he tried to complete his trophy collection in the latter stages of his career. Gunther looked like an intelligent killer who took advantage of the chaos around him. Overall, this was the match of the weekend, and Gunther retained the Intercontinental Championship by defeating McIntyre and Sheamus via pinfall. The match deserves an A+ grade.
