#2 Jeff Hardy's Intercontinental Championship win on SmackDown - what does it mean for the future?

A big win for Jeff Hardy

Jeff Hardy faced AJ Styles for the Intercontinental Championship. During the previously-mentioned attack against RETRIBUTION, AJ Styles sneakily attacked Jeff Hardy's leg from behind, forcing him to spend much of the episode of SmackDown in the trainer's room trying to get cleared.

Jeff Hardy finally managed to convince the WWE trainer that he could be cleared and the match was official. It was a hard-fought battle for Jeff Hardy on SmackDown but he managed to overcome the odds - albeit, with the help of a knee brace. It was an uncharacteristic win for Jeff Hardy, but one could argue that it was poetic justice after AJ Styles' premeditated attack.

It's going to be interesting to see what the future of the Intercontinental Championship is and if he'll defend the title against AJ Styles at SummerSlam. That match hasn't been made official as of this writing, but we expect it to be. What would SummerSlam be without AJ Styles?
