Huge Intercontinental Championship Match Confirmed For WrestleMania 39

WWE

On WWE SmackDown, there was a brutal battle between Sheamus and Drew McIntyre over who would go to WrestleMania 39 to face GUNTHER.

While mid-match there was a major move which saw both men down for nearly the ten count, instead GUNTHER jumped from ringside.

Confronting both of them,  Imperium would then go on to attack both Sheamus and Drew McIntyre, leading to a decisive non-finish.

However as they were leaving the ring, Adam Pearce appeared on the Titan Tron to make it official: GUNTHER would be facing both Sheamus and Drew McIntyre for the Intercontinental Championship at WrestleMania 39.

Also on tonight’s SmackDown, another wild brawl between WrestleMania 39 opponents broke out and the first qualifying match was held for newly announced ‘showcase’ matches set for the big show.

Earlier in the show Cody Rhodes attempted to broker a truce between Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn. You can find out how well that worked out by clicking this link.
