The Miz vs Dolph Ziggler (Intercontinental Championship):
Trending
With a lack of star-studded matches to fill out the card, Backlash needed a match like this one to deliver. It did, adding another Intercontinental Title match on to the best matches this year. Both men were fired up, and the result was an extremely solid bout that exceeded expectations, as we had already seen these two clash multiple times.
Ziggler’s selling of his knee injury, along with his overall technical ability, brought out the best in the Miz. The viscious, yet coward-like nature of the Miz’s character shone throughout the contest, and was the main takeaway from this matchup.

The length of time given for the match added to the emotional investment as well, as fans immersed themselves in the story, something that is all too uncommon in these midcard feuds.The finish with Maryse interfering only further added to Miz’s growing heat, and was a nifty way of continuing the feud.
If we keep getting matches like this, I’m not complaining.
