The heart of the matter
Finn Balor defeated Bobby Lashley and Lio Rush tonight to become the new WWE Intercontinental Champion. Lashley had the match in the bag, but an overzealous Lio Rush tagged himself in and cost Lashley the title, as both Lio and Lashley were quickly taken out by Finn Balor, with "The Demon King" capitalizing on the situation and hitting the Coup De Grace on Lio Rush to get the pinfall victory. A very angry and frustrated Lashley took out his emotions on Lio Rush, as he laid Rush out in the middle of the ring and walked off, much to the amusement and satisfaction of the WWE Universe.
