Apollo Crews had already surprised everyone by entering the 6-man fight for the WWE World Championship and a week later he managed to secure his ticket as the challenger for The Miz's Intercontinental Championship.
Winner in a triple threat match. Apollo Crews faced Kalisto and Baron Corbin in a triple threat match to determine the number 1 contender for the Intercontinental Championship at SummerSlam. The wrestler from NXT shone in the ring and with a deadly move took Kalisto out of the fight to secure the biggest opportunity of his career in the WWE.
The Miz entered to impose respect. The reigning Intercontinental Champion entered the ring to congratulate Apollo Crews, however his real intention was to attack his rival at SummerSlam and show that he will not be the loser of the next event on August 21.
He didn't count on Baron Corbin. The 'Lone Wolf' returned to action and after The Miz's move, he got involved in the fight to leave the champion helpless in front of Maryse's gaze. This action could lead to a triple threat threat at SummerSlam for the Intercontinental Championship.
