WWE Intercontinental Championship: Seth Rollins (c) vs. Elias

Undeniably on fire since the start of the year, Seth Rollins is untouchable in the ring at the moment such that his desperation fight against Elias, puts over the rockstar drifter. In a thrilling contest that saw both men dig deep, Rollins came out with the win but Elias did more than that.

Beginning with another Elias special concert, the fans were all in on this Chi-town showdown for the Intercontinental championship. Kudos to them biting into each moment and near fall, especially the lengthy injury sell on Rollins. From grasping his recently hurt neck to his tweaked knee, it allowed Elias the opening to continue a relentless attack.

Look who just shut down all of Tony Khan's critics! More HERE.

Rollins early caution against Elias did not pay off once he grasped the beaten champion for an unrelenting attack on the outside. That Elias even went to the top rope to put down the champion, who pulled rights for a win shows how important the title is for both men. Rollins came out the champion, yet his work along with Elias puts the drifter in prime position.

Seth Rollins sneaks away with the win on Elias to RETAIN the Intercontinental Championship!
