Winner – Daniel Bryan
Wade looks for his title after the match and blames Truth, but Truth plays like he has no clue where it is and Wade looks horrified. After a break we see Truth walking around backstage with the Intercontinental Championship, and Dean Ambrose walks over and asks what happened. Truth plays like he won the title and Ambrose says he wants the title back, then Truth tells him to take it from him. Truth says ‘two title changes in one night, Smackdown’s is on fire’ and walks away as Ambrose nods in approval.
