Title Match Makes History
Although it wasn’t the classic match people had originally expected, Dolph Ziggler did successfully retain his Intercontinental Title against Seth Rollins in the 30-minute Iron Man Match that ended up serving as the main event of Sunday’s (July 15, 2018) WWE Extreme Rules pay-per-view event in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania at the PPG Paints Arena on the WWE Network.
An interesting stat has surfaced about the match as it was the second time ever that the title by itself has main evented a WWE pay-per-view. The last time that the Intercontinental Championship main evented a show was the Bret Hart versus Davey Boy Smith match at Summerslam 1992. Historically, these title matches will be booked as the hot opener for a PPV event.
Matt Hardy Shares Cryptic Message
Matt Hardy has fans talking over the latest cryptic message he posted on his official Twitter account after he and Bray Wyatt lost the RAW Tag Team Titles to the B-Team (Bo Dallas and Curtis Axel) at Extreme Rules.
There is speculation online that WWE will split up Wyatt and Wyatt that will eventually lead to a match that could come as early as next month at the upcoming SummerSlam pay-per-view event on Sunday, August 19, 2018 in Brooklyn, New York at the Barclays Center.
It may be time for US to move on..
