The WWE Intercontinental Cup tournament, which was scheduled to begin this week on WWE Main Event, has been cancelled. The tournament was supposed to determine a No.1 contender for the Intercontinental Champion Wade Barrett. Barrett tweeted about this recent development stating that he managed to negotiate the cancellation of the tournament.
The tournament was supposed to include top stars in the WWE such as Randy Orton, The Miz, Kofi Kingston, Darren Young, Antonio Cesaro, Dolph Ziggler, Cody Rhodes and Damien Sandow. The reason behind the canning of the tournament is still unclear. However, WWE may have had a change of plans due to the promise shown by rookie Bo Dallas. A comprehensive feud between Barrett and Dallas may be on the cards.
