Background:

In early 2015, Bad News Barrett was having a successful run as the Intercontinental Champion, but his title was stolen away by Dean Ambrose, following a disqualification loss at Fastlane.

Over the next few weeks, several other Superstars gained illegal possession of the title, which led to Stephanie booking a 6-man ladder match for the Championship at WrestleMania 31. After losing the #1 contender match at Fastlane, Daniel Bryan also announced his entry in this match, turning this into a 7-man match.

Match:

With the match opening WrestleMania 31, the crowd was pumped for the favorites Ambrose and Bryan from the start of the match. The early goings had various Superstars jumping outside the ring on a group of wrestlers, which ended with Ambrose leaping from the top of the ladder on the other participants.

Barrett took control of the match inside the ring but, he was knocked down by Bryan with a dropkick. Bryan tried to take advantage but he was hit with a ladder by Harper. Harper gained control in the ring by knocking everyone down with a ladder, but R-Truth knocked him out with a Scissors kick on the ladder.

With Stardust on the top of the ladder, Barrett suplexed him down to a huge cheer from the crowd. The most memorable moment of the match came when, Harper powerbombed Ambrose onto a ladder outside the ring, taking him out of the match.

Ziggler hit Harper with a 'zig-zag' from the top rope. Barrett went on a Bull-Hammer spree, but Bryan stopped him with a 'running knee'. Bryan climbed the ladder where he was met with Ziggler. A stunning sequence followed, with both hitting each other with headbutts on the top of the ladder until Bryan knocked Ziggler down and unhooked the title to win the title.
