#4 Bobby Lashley (Champion) and Lio Rush vs. Finn Bálor- Handicap match for the WWE Intercontinental Championship
Lio Rush was built as the weak link who Balor could pin to win the title in the build-up for the match as an attempt to cover up the ridiculousness of the existence of this type of match.
Interestingly enough, that is what happened as this was the third consecutive title change of the night.
Lashley started the match against Balor and tagged in Lio whenever required. There were the usual shenanigans from Lashley and Rush.
Lashley had Balor almost beat when Lio Rush tagged himself in and attempted his finisher, but could not connect.
Balor then took out both Lashley and Rush with a dive over the top rope and then hit the Coup the Grace on the more vulnerable Rush to become the new champion.
In the aftermath, Lio Rush apologized for his overconfidence, but, Bobby hit him with a spine buster out of frustration.
Rating: 2.25*
