While many believed that Daniel Bryan would be entering the Universal Championship picture on WWE SmackDown, he was more focused on getting his hands on the Intercontinental Championship instead.

Sami Zayn complained that Bryan did not deserve another shot at the title since he’d already been defeated by him at WrestleMania 36. However, Bryan shut up The Critic of Critics and took the upper hand in the match early on.

Both men delivered some great moves, following which Zayn caught Bryan with an impressive Brainbuster on the ring apron. He almost picked up the count-out victory, following which he got a near-fall after hitting the Blue Thunder Bomb.

Bryan managed to lock in the Yes Lock, but Zayn made his way out of the ring and tried to run. The two men ran around, following which Zayn managed to make his way back to the ring just in time for The Planet’s Champion to get counted out.

This was the best match of the night and it was great to watch Bryan and Zayn compete once again on SmackDown. Zayn is severely underrated, and he showed his potential against Bryan to a great degree.

After the match, Zayn made fun of Apollo Crews backstage on SmackDown but got caught by Big E in the process. Big E reminded Zayn that one wrong move would cost him the title, signaling towards a rivalry between the two men.
