Zack Ryder won the IC Title in an emotional moment at WrestleMania 32

The most recent match on our list is also one of three ladder matches that will be featured. For the second year in a row, WWE decided to get a bunch of people on the card by adding a 7-man ladder match for the Intercontinental Championship. In this instance, Kevin Owens was forced to defend his title against Dolph Ziggler, The Miz, Sin Cara, Stardust, Sami Zayn and eventual winner Zack Ryder.

Most people wanted this to be the big Kevin Owens vs. Sami Zayn match (and it would have been perfect), but WWE had different plans. Owens would lose the title after Ryder just beat out both Dolph Ziggler and Sami Zayn (the two other big crowd favorites in the match) to grab the title belt.

One major reason that this match earns a spot on the list is that not only was it a fun spotfest with bodies flying everywhere, but Zack Ryder finally got his WrestleMania moment after years of working his butt off to try to get one.

His father jumped the barricade and celebrated with him in the ring afterwards as well. Sadly, the reign wouldn’t last long, as The Miz would begin his quest to become the greatest Intercontinental Champion of all time the following night, as he pinned Zack Ryder on the RAW after ‘Mania to procure the gold.
