It’s Drew McIntyre Appreciation Night, but someone forgot to tell Dolph Ziggler. Not only was The Showoff omitted from the guest list of General Manager-Elect Baron Corbin’s tribute to The Scottish Psychopath — a ceremony that included a “Gold Medal of Excellence” — McIntyre himself effectively kicked Ziggler to the curb when The Showoff called him out on it, ending an alliance that the Scot claimed had run its course.
Ziggler responded with a Zig-Zag that landed him in an immediate match with The Scottish Psychopath, wherein McIntyre, admitting to harboring a soft spot for his now-former partner, grabbed the mic and declcared he would treat The Showoff as he would Finn Bálor. The former Universal Champion appeared moments later, and his presence threw McIntyre off sufficiently for Ziggler to rally. It was only when Bálor got involved, though, that the match turned for good: After McIntyre rolled Ziggler into the ring and inadvertently into the ref, the Irishman blasted him with a running dropkick into the barricade.
The Scot barely beat the count of ten, but he staggered straight into a textbook superkick from The Showoff that ended the match and capped Drew McIntyre Appreciation Night with a bit of history that the Scot had probably not intended. With that kick and subsequent three-count, McIntyre suffered the first loss by pinfall or submission since his Raw return. Points to Ziggler for getting the last laugh on the evening, but if McIntyre’s post-match interview was any indication, he won’t stop until he gets the last word on The Showoff … and Finn Bálor.
