The Miz vs. Dean Ambrose (Intercontinental Championship):
Trending
Grade: 9/10
This was a stellar main event that continued the Ellsworth-Ambrose saga while keeping the Miz strong, in his sub-feud with GM Daniel Bryan. Ambrose and Miz’s chemistry was good, and some of the near falls, made fans think for a second that they may put the belt on Ambrose.

Although it felt like they were holding something back in the action, that was probably for the best, as these two should save the highlights for a potential feud down the line. The finish was perfectly executed here as well, with Ellsworth attempting to make amends with Ambrose, by helping him fend off Maryse’s tactics, but inadvertently costing Ambrose the IC title.
This added more fuel to the fire of Ambrose’s anger towards Ellsworth while giving Miz the cheap win off a distraction. Ambrose will be even angrier next week at Ellsworth, while Miz can rub it in Daniel Bryan’s face that he retained despite the fact that the GM booked him in a title match.
This match (and the finish) successfully created anticipation for Ambrose’s revenge on Ellsworth heading forward, as well as for Bryan’s response to Miz’s title win. Overall, a very strong main event that successfully progressed the Ambrose/Ellsworth story, while keeping Miz’s title reign intact with another cheap win; creating anticipation for who will challenge him in future weeks.
