James Ellsworth is backstage looking around like he's on vacation, and he runs into the Club, who call him Jimmy No-Chin. They said he's living like a real-life Chinderella, but he's chin it to win it, and he even pinned their old friend AJ Styles. Mick Foley comes in and tells them to knock it off and asks if they'd like it if he made fun of them for being bald. The Club leaves, and James Ellsworth marks out over all the great stuff from Mick's career: when the Undertaker tossed him off the cage, when Edge speared him through the flaming table...Mick asks him if he has any memories of him not being in great discomfort, then after Ellsworth brings up his title victories over the Rock, Foley asks him if he'd want to be on Raw. Ellsworth sas he's Team Blue, and Foley says he might change his tune on that after what happens tonight. Foley leaves, Ellsworth turns around and finds himself face-to-chest with Braun Strowman, who says, "Don't I know you?" Ellsworth takes off, and Strowman smiles at him.
Intercontinental Title Match: The Miz vs Sami Zayn
Basic feeling out process to start, and Zayn gets an early advantage with a series of rollups. Miz takes a breather out on the floor, but Zayn goes out after him and moonsaults off the barricade onto Miz. Maryse gets right up in Zayn's face, distracting him long enough to allow Miz to clip his knee from behind. They go back into the ring where Miz starts dropping elbows on the knee and gives Zayn a kneeDT. Zayn gets a bit of offense, but Miz goes to Daniel Bryans old standby, the surfboard, and stomps on Zayn's knees. Zayn ducks a charge and sends Miz sailing out to the floor, but Miz drags Zayn to thecorner and rams his knee into the ringpost. Zayn tries firing back, but Miz pounds him back down and kicks him in the knee to drop him. Miz fools around too much and runs into a big clothesline from Zayn, then Zayn dumps Miz to the floor and takes him out with a somersault dive. They go back in and Zayn hits a Michinoku Driver for 2. Miz takes Zayn down and goes for a figure four, but Zayn reverses to a small package for 2. Miz mocks the YES YES pose and hits a series of dropkicks in the corner, but Zayn hits a blue thunder bomb out of nowhere for 2.

Zayn goes for the Yakuza kick in the corner, Miz dodges and Zayn drills his bad leg into the turnbuckle, and Miz goes to the figure four. Zayn fights and fights, and finally manages to reverse the hold, but Miz goes right to the ropes. Zayn suddenly gets the figure four out of nowhere, and Miz is in deep trouble, but Maryse goes over and rings the bell to make Zayn think he won. Of course the match isn't over, so Zayn releases the hold and Miz rolls Zayn up for the cheap win.
Winner: The Miz
Excellent match, Miz is really underrated and has been doing some great work. Zayn is awesome as always.
Dean Ambrose is watching the monitor, and AJ Styles walks in and tells him that if everyone just follows him, they'll get a win. Dean says he knows AJ is just going to slam a metal chair into his back, but in two weeks at TLC, his fantasies become AJ's nightmare. Shane McMahon comes in and says they can settle this in two weeks, but they need a win tonight and he needs everyone on the same page.
