AJ Styles (c) vs. Drew Gulak - Intercontinental Championship match

Styles retained his title after a grueling match on SmackDown

In the SmackDown ring, AJ and Gulak couldn't wait to start the match and we cut back to them already locked in combat while Daniel Bryan joined us via a zoom call. AJ was focusing on Gulak's knees and Drew went for a submission of his own before AJ fled the ring for a breather.

We returned to SmackDown to see that Gulak was in trouble while AJ went for his eyes behind the ref's back. Gulak dropped Styles on the buckles before taking a Styles Clash. AJ hung Gulak on the ropes and hit the Phenomenal Forearm to get the win.

Result: AJ Styles def. Drew Gulak to retain the Intercontinental Championship
