After winning the #1 Contender's Battle Royal in the first half of the evening, Jason Jordan gained the opportunity to challenge The Miz for the Intercontinental Championship.

Once the bell rang, The Miz began psyching out Jordan by talking smack about him. Jordan remained unnerved by The Miz's mind games and began assaulting him by using his amateur wrestling moves.

It seemed that Jordan almost had The Miz beat but Dallas & Axel distracted him from the ringside, thus allowing The Miz to finish off Jordan with the Skull-Crushing Finale.

Post-match, Axel & Dallas started assaulting Jordan, letting R-Truth and Dean Ambrose make the save. RAW General Manager Kurt Angle came out, ordered the superstars to stop fighting, and then announced that Jason Jordan, Dean Ambrose & R-Truth were going to face The Miz & The Miztourage in a Six-Man Tag Team Match.
