Gunther vs. Drew McIntyre vs. Sheamus for the Intercontinental Championship
Gunther is on a record-breaking run for the Intercontinental championship. He, along with Drew McIntyre and Sheamus came up with one of the most entertaining matches of recent times. There was plenty of brutal hitting, banger after banger as it’s being dubbed on social media. Kicks were flying everywhere, Sheamus hit his friend-turned-foe McIntyre with 27 beats of Bodhran. Gunther had his moments though, he delivered two last symphonies, one each to Sheamus, who landed on Drew’s back and the latter was on the receiving end later with Gunther pinning McIntyre to extend his reign.
Bianca Belair vs. Asuka for the Raw Women’s championship
Belair defeated Asuka and continued her reign as one of the best wrestlers in the women’s division. It was another entertaining match, with plenty of moments for both fighters but the turning point of the match proved to be when Asuka missed her trick with the Blue mist. Belair avoided the mist and came up with her signature Kiss of Death which was enough to secure a victory over Asuka.
