Ricochet Becomes The New Intercontinental Champion On 3/4 WWE SmackDown

Despite having his Intercontinental Championship celebration interrupted, Sami Zayn savored his victory over Shinsuke Nakamura and kicked off his third title reign by promising to be a fighting champion.

After Zayn dispatched the interfering Johnny Knoxville, Ricochet approached the new champion backstage, offering to take him up on his open challenge.



Ricochet and Sami kicked off tonight's SmackDown with an Intercontinental Championship bout. This was Sami's first defense of the title since winning it from Shinsuke Nakamura just a few weeks ago.

At the end of the match, Johnny Knoxville came out and distracted Sami. This would allow Ricochet to pin Zayn and win the Intercontinental Championship for the first time in his career.
