Scrapped Plan For Popular WWE Star To Lose Intercontinental Championship Revealed

WWE

A scrapped plan for a popular WWE star to lose his Intercontinental Championship to a Hall of Famer have been revealed.

On TikTok, The Miz revealed that he had suggested a plan to drop the Intercontinental Championship in a gauntlet match and that this was something he “really wanted to do”.

The plan would have seen The Miz face former Intercontinental Champions, defeating them all until he met his ultimate opponent.

As The Miz explains:

“I would have to go through a gauntlet match … In the end when I defeated the last person in that gauntlet lumberjack match, what would happen? Ultimate Warrior’s music would hit, and he would be the last person in the gauntlet match.”

This would see The Miz drop the championship, as he states:

“He would run down, he would hit me with three clotheslines, do a splash and hit 1,2,3, and beat me for the Intercontinental Championship and I thought that would have been really, really cool.”

The idea came from The Miz wanting to defeat all the former Intercontinental Champions.

The Ultimate Warrior held the championship on two occasions, including during his late 80s run where he win the belt at SummerSlam in 1988.

He won the belt in a 27-second squash match against The Honky Tonk Man.

The Miz is an eight-time Intercontinental Champion and first held the belt in July 2012.

Ultimate Warrior was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame on April 5 2014 and was a two-time Intercontinental Champion and one-time WWF Champion.

He would pass away on April 8 of that year at the age of 54.
