Winner: Finn Balor
The star of the Greatest Royal Rumble's ladder match, Finn Balor literally came within inches of capturing the Intercontinental Championship, only for Seth Rollins to leapfrog him and beat him in a race to the gold.
The ending signalled volumes about where Raw's mid-card division will move after Backlash. Finn Balor must be regarded as Seth Rollins' next challenger, and though the two have had many singles matches this year, the potential for them to have a pay-per-view length and quality match must always be a welcome prospect.
