Dolph Ziggler became the No. 1 Contender to Intercontinental Title


BOSTON – With Christian out of action on WWE Main Event, Dolph Ziggler battled Intercontinental
Champion Big E in a fierce title contest. Plus, ten
of WWE’s battling beauties competed for
momentum, en route to The Grandest Stage of
Them All.

Despite winning the opportunity to battle Big E for
the Intercontinental Championship on Raw, it was
revealed on Main Event that Christian had
sustained a slight concussion during the intense
Raw Fatal 4-Way Match and could no longer
compete. As a result, Sheamus, Alberto Del Rio and Dolph
Ziggler – Captain Charisma’s opponents on Monday
night – faced-off in a Triple Threat Match to name a
new No. 1 Contender. While all three Superstars left
everything they had on the canvas in the
subsequent free-for-all, the unbridled determination on Ziggler helped him hit the Zig Zag on Del Rio for
the pin – just as The Mexican Aristocrat was
executing a backstabber on Sheamus. After the dust cleared, The Showoff lived up to his
name, vowing to Renee Young that he would win
the Intercontinental Championship later in the show
as well as the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle
Royal at WrestleMania. But as he shook hands with
the calm and collected Big E, the WWE Universe was reminded that that would be no small task.

Jack Swagger had his hands full against the supersize goliath Big Show, who was still seething after Swagger interfered in his match against Cesaro on last Friday’s SmackDown. As the two former World Champions waged war, Swagger pushed The World’s Largest Athlete to the brink of his pain threshold with a punishing Patriot Lock. But Big Show powered through the pain, and dropped Swagger with a brutal KO Punch to claim victory. Watch replay on WWE Network  |  Highlights | Photos

Cesaro def. Big Show by Disqualification

ntroduced by his new advocate, Paul Heyman, Cesaro went head-to-head with Big Show – the very same giant he  threw over the top rope to win WrestleMania’s Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal on Sunday. Watch as Cesaro became a Heyman Guy  | Exclusive: Michael Cole interviewed Heyman In the height of a contest between The World’s Largest Athlete and “The King of Swing” – before Cesaro could attempt a Cesaro Swing on his gigantic foe – Jack Swagger suddenly attacked his former tag team partner and brought an end to the match by disqualification. Angry over the disruption, Big Show hurled the disruptive Real American out of the ring. Cesaro used this to regain a post-match advantage, hitting the Neutralizer on the giant in the center of the ring!

Divas Champion Paige vs. Tamina Snuka

Paige may have unwittingly backed her way into winning the Divas Championship from AJ Lee, but to keep hold of the Divas division’s top prize, she’ll have to survive a one-on-one contest with AJ’s muscle, Tamina Snuka, at Extreme Rules. After spending months in AJ’s corner, helping the sinister skipper secure the longest Divas Championship reign in history, Tamina stepped out of the shadows on the April 15 edition of WWE Main Event to win a No. 1 Contender’s Battle Royal. Her dominant display in the match bumped Tamina to the head of the line of contenders, and on May 4, she’ll set her sights on The Diva of Tomorrow. Watch Paige defend the NXT Women's Championship at ArRIVAL The matchup is a fascinating one for fans of Divas action. There are obvious parallels, such as the fact both competitors grew up in wrestling families.
