Intercontinental Championship Match
Curtis Axel defeats R. Truth to retain
What Nick Wants to Happen: A match where R. Truth’s offense looks believable, Paul Heyman praises Curtis after he wins handily.
I love Curtis Axel, and I think he’s doing a yeoman’s job with this title reign. This was what I wanted from the match, and it’s clear they are going to turn him face — likely with an actually creepy “Uncle Paul loves me the most!” thing opposite Ryback. I had no problem with this match. It was just a decent IC championship match for the sake of an IC championship match. But since you could pretty easily argue this should have been the pre-show free-for-all match, it’s only fair to rate accordingly.
