Easily the most average match of the night, this bout was buoyed by a happy ending for one of the company's most popular stars.

Lashley's reign with the Intercontinental title, like the majority of his second run with the WWE, has been fairly forgettable, and putting the belt on Balor ahead of WrestleMania makes a lot of sense.

The belt has changed hands a lot over recent months, so hopefully, Balor can help make it his own and elevate it in a similar way to what Rollins did throughout 2018.

The in-ring action here was fine, but the WWE could have definitely booked some cooler spots between Balor and Rush.

The post-match angle which saw Lashley attack Rush felt a little unnecessary, given that Lashley needs all the help he can get right now.
