00:00Well, pigs fly. Never knew they would. It's like the
00:25rest of us. She's just flabbergasted over the fact that Jack Ryder is the new Intercontinental
00:40Champion. You know it. Hell's frozen over. Want to show you what happened last night
00:45at WrestleMania. Seven man ladder match with Kevin Owens. Intercontinental title action
00:51just saw the lengths at which all seven of these superstars were willing to push themselves
00:56in order to achieve that opportunity to be Intercontinental Champion. They would do everything
01:03they could pull out all the stops. But in the end, Miz thought he had won the Intercontinental
01:08title. But then from out of nowhere, Long Island, I see Zack Ryder would realize his
01:15dream and Cinderella has an ugly beard. Not that bad.
01:45Last night was the greatest night of my life. All of my wildest dreams came true and I finally
02:02had my WrestleMania moment. You know, when I was a little kid, I took a picture with
02:11Razor Ramon and he let me hold his Intercontinental title. And and last night at WrestleMania,
02:26we took another picture, but this time it was him holding my Intercontinental title.
02:43And I'm not going to stand out here and be long-winded, but there's someone I got to
02:48thank. Dad. Thank you. Thanks for always being there for me. Thanks for always having my
03:01back. Thanks for taking me to all those shows at Madison Square Garden. And thanks for always
03:07encouraging me to live my dreams.
03:09This is so touching. So heartwarming.
03:38Thanks dad. But there's no denying that you had your WrestleMania moment in front of your
03:45entire family and what a moment it was. But just like many Hollywood stars, you're just
03:52a flash in the pan. You're just a one-hit wonder. But you ruined my WrestleMania moment
04:06in front of my family, my friends, my wife. I was inches away of winning the Intercontinental
04:13Championship. I had the leather and gold in my fingertips until you came up from behind
04:19and pushed me in the back. And just like that, it was gone. Sucks to be you, bro.
04:26No, it does not suck to be me. No, it does not suck to be me. When my hand goes up, your
04:49mouth goes shut. You were lucky to be in that match and you were even luckier to win
04:56that title. But if you want to prove that you deserve that championship, if you want
05:00to prove that your name should be mentioned in the likes of Razor Ramon, Shawn Michaels,
05:10The Miz, then you'll put that title on the line against me right here, right now.
05:22Miz, I have nothing to prove to you, bro. Nothing at all.
05:25Spoken like a true never was. You know, if I were you, I would want to prove to everyone
05:33that last night wasn't a fluke. Or are you afraid that I'll send you back to Long Island
05:40with your goofy old man? Improve and prove that you're just all hype. Woo, woo, woo.
05:55Let's do this.
05:59Ryder's accepted.
06:01Miz is going to get a wrist.
06:02We've got an Intercontinental Championship match.
06:05Well, wait a minute. We'll see if the, and yes, there's the official.
06:09That's all we have.
06:11Chad Patton's entered the ring and he's holding the championship.
06:18And it is for the Intercontinental title according to the official.
06:22So Ryder with his first Intercontinental Championship defense here tonight against The Miz,
06:2724 hours after winning it at WrestleMania.
06:30I'm not so sure Miz actually deserves this title opportunity.
06:33He did lose fair and square last night.
06:35Zack Ryder, I guess, wanting to prove he's a fighting champion.
06:38So Miz went across the ring, shoulder tackle to start things off.
06:42Well, what Zack Ryder may prove is he's a flash in the pan.
06:45Well, you see Miz and Ryder both bandaged up after that vicious ladder match last night.
06:53Ryder dropkick.
06:55Punk Miz right on the jaw.
07:01Ryder with the double knees.
07:05And now launching himself with the dropkick.
07:07And you know, I don't know how ready Ryder is to-
07:09Cover.
07:10And a kick out.
07:11To defend his championship.
07:12He's sitting out here gloating with his goofy dad.
07:14And all of a sudden now he finds himself defending that championship.
07:17Gloating?
07:18What, he's happy he won the Intercontinental Championship?
07:20Why can't he come out here and-
07:21He was gloating, Byron.
07:23Well, he's got no choice now.
07:24He's got to defend the title match underway.
07:26Zack Ryder, top rope.
07:27Watch out, Miz.
07:28Flying off the top rope.
07:32And Zack Ryder giving us a little taste of why he's a champ.
07:36Well, it had to be acknowledgement from the top brass.
07:38And that top brass tonight is Shane McMahon.
07:41Zack Ryder looking to defend his Intercontinental Championship live on Monday Night Raw.
07:52We're back live on Monday Night Raw impromptu Intercontinental Championship match.
07:56The new champion, Zack Ryder, against the challenger, The Miz.
07:59Miz made the challenge.
08:00Ryder accepted.
08:01And Shane McMahon is in charge of Raw tonight.
08:04And an official.
08:05And you see the wounds of battle.
08:06Both these guys are taped up from that ladder match last night.
08:09It was absolutely horrific.
08:11And Zack Ryder winning the Intercontinental title, climbing the ladder, grabbing the championship.
08:16Miz thought he had that championship won.
08:18Took a little too long on top of that ladder.
08:20And Zack Ryder came in and smashed it from him.
08:23And Miz looking to take the championship now, 24 hours later.
08:26Hook of the leg, kick out by Ryder at two.
08:28And Miz, relentless with his attack.
08:33You wonder how long Miz was thinking about this before he talked his way into a title opportunity against Zack Ryder.
08:42Well, it makes sense.
08:43Miz was the last one in that match that had a chance at winning it when Zack won it.
08:47So, good that it's in a title match.
08:50I'm sure that's Miz's logic.
08:51And good it's right in front of Zack's groupie dad.
08:58Ryder whipped across the ring.
09:00And uh-oh, Miz telegraphed it and paid for it.
09:03Obviously, Shane McMahon, who's running raw tonight at least, made this match.
09:08What a great father Miz McMahon is.
09:10Mr. McMahon did say, as he was leaving the building earlier on, that it was temporary for Miz McMahon to give his son a chance to do something like this.
09:18I thought Miz McMahon should be the father of the year.
09:20I think Shane has seized the opportunity.
09:22Doing a great job.
09:28Be sure and tell Mr. McMahon you said that.
09:31Zack Ryder.
09:32This time, Miz sidesteps the missile dropkick.
09:34Clamps.
09:35Could have a new champion.
09:36Ryder face first for the Intercontinental title for the Miz.
09:39And Ryder stays in it.
09:47Can you imagine the emotional rollercoaster that Zack Ryder could be on if Miz wins this Intercontinental Championship?
09:54He's got his whole family out here.
09:56Come out to WrestleMania.
09:57Wins the Intercontinental Championship.
09:58Dreams come true.
09:59And all of a sudden, they get vanquished right here on Monday Night Raw.
10:02He was looking for the Skull Crushing Finale.
10:03Ryder able to counter.
10:04And Zack Ryder looking for the Rough Rider.
10:06And Miz ducked underneath it.
10:07Rough landing.
10:11Uh-oh.
10:12Zack rolling him up.
10:13Got him.
10:14No.
10:15Kick out at two.
10:20And now Miz.
10:21Zack lands on his feet.
10:22What a counter for Ryder for the win over the Miz.
10:25Kick out at two.
10:29Ryder can taste it right now.
10:31He can taste his first successful title defense.
10:39He better.
10:40Or he'll go back to Long Island and never get to bring the championship back.
10:44Hope he took a picture with it.
10:49And now Miz quickly back to his feet.
10:53Zack was going for the high rest move.
10:54Top rope.
10:55And Miz able to get there first.
11:00Dangerous part of town for the Miz and Zack Ryder.
11:03Yeah, especially after these guys were flying all around the ring last night.
11:05That ladder match.
11:06And Miz bounced off the top rope.
11:08And now Ryder's going to be able to do what he wanted to do.
11:12Zack Ryder with the Elbow Drop.
11:18Zack did that off the top of the ladder.
11:19Ryder for the win to retain the championship.
11:21And Miz got his foot on the bottom rope.
11:25Zack did that off the top of the ladder last night.
11:29Still feeling the effects of it.
11:31Miz, a former dump hurts.
11:35Good ring awareness there.
11:36Might have saved the Miz in this match.
11:38At least for the time being.
11:43Just trying to hang on.
11:44Regroup.
11:45Oh, there's a boot to Ryder.
11:48And just like that, Miz has turned the tables.
11:54We'll see what the new champion Ryder's made of tonight.
11:56No doubt about that.
12:00Oh, Miz!
12:05Oh, watch Ryder.
12:07Right to the back of the neck.
12:08And that may be enough.
12:09Knocked you silly.
12:13Could be broski boot time.
12:17I hate that.
12:18And Miz sliding out of harm's way.
12:23I'm not so sure.
12:26Bounced right off the barricade.
12:27And now, Ryder out to get his challenge for the championship.
12:31Oh, and driven.
12:32Kendi first into the apron.
12:33Did you hear that?
12:34Yeah.
12:35Golly.
12:36Nasty.
12:37And that's nasty as well.
12:41Right in front of his father.
12:45That's Zack's dad right there.
12:46That Superman shirt on.
12:50And Miz, a former dump hurts.
12:52That Superman shirt on.
13:04Thank you, Superman.
13:05I'm the real Superman.
13:07You're going to slap me?
13:08You're going to slap me?
13:09You're going to slap me?
13:10Oh, no!
13:11The hell?
13:12He's not so goofy now, is he?
13:13Arrest that man.
13:15I had it coming.
13:18That's Zack Ryder's dad that just shot Miz.
13:20Arrest that man.
13:21Don't put your hands on a Superman shirt.
13:23The hell has a guy come in here wearing a Superman shirt
13:25and buys a ticket and thinks he can punch The Miz?
13:28The hell is wrong with him?
13:31You've got to be kidding me.
13:32Who the?
13:33Is that?
13:43That is Maryse.
13:44Yeah, Maryse.
13:45Oh, man!
13:46Good!
13:48Now security going to haul Maryse out of here.
13:50Miz, skull crushing finale.
13:52Zack was distracted.
13:53Miz hooks the leg.
13:54Miz is a five-time Intercontinental Champion.
13:58Here is your winner and the new Intercontinental Champion, The Miz.
14:06What a horrible way to lose the championship.
14:09What an incredible night for The Miz.
14:11What in the world?
14:13That man should be arrested, Max.
14:15Zack is going home without the Intercontinental Championship.
14:18And the A-lister has the title.
14:21This is a happy ending.
14:23Why are you arresting her?
14:25That's Maryse.
14:26That's Miz's wife.
14:31Who came at her and slapped Zack's dad
14:33to distract him.
14:34Caused Zack the championship.
14:37Isn't that nice?
14:38It's like Camelot.
14:39Isn't that wonderful?
14:40Miz is so happy.
14:44I haven't seen Maryse in a long time.
14:45She looks fantastic.
14:48And apparently game plan executed by The Miz.
14:53It's a Hollywood love story.
14:56It's like Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie.
14:59It's royalty.
15:00Well, let's show you the whole sequence that happened here.
15:05That is assault.
15:06That is assault by a person who bought a ticket.
15:09Should have arrested that bozo.
15:11Well, Miz's wife, Maryse, didn't like it.
15:14Watch what she does.
15:15Should have slapped that bozo.
15:16Zack Ryder was distracted by all this.
15:18And Miz took advantage with a skull-crushing finale
15:21to win his fifth Intercontinental Championship.
15:24It was fate.
15:26Miz just stole that Intercontinental Championship
15:29away from Zack Ryder.
15:30Go get a pacifier or suck your thumb.
15:33Because the Hollywood love story has come true.
15:37Miz is Intercontinental Champion.
